2013 Map of Alcoa Lake

About this map

Alcoa Lake and the industrial infrastructure of the Sandow and Alcoa settlements dominate this central Texas landscape. This 2013 survey reveals a region defined by its water management and agricultural roots, where the course of East Yegua Creek and its many tributaries like Allen Creek and Walleye Creek dictate the layout of rural roads. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the terrain, including Hamilton Chapel Cem and Richards- Black Cem. The map illustrates a transitional landscape near Pleasant Hill, where traditional ranching and farming lands meet the specialized needs of the local aluminum and power industries, characterized by the reservoirs and road networks like Farm-To-Market Road 1786 that support the area's development.
