About this map

Alcoa Lake and the industrial landscape surrounding Sandow dominate this central Texas terrain, where the Milam Co and Lee Co border meets. The area is defined by significant topographic modification and water management features, notably along E Yegua Cr and its tributaries like Walleye Cr and Rocky Cr. This landscape reflects a deep history of land use and community presence, evidenced by the high density of small family and community burial grounds dispersed throughout the territory.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous specific locations of interest, including the Hamilton Chapel Cem and Richards Black Cem. The mapping of small, named sites such as Miller on Alcoa Cem and the Bryant Massinggill Cem provides a precise spatial record of the people who shaped this part of Milam County. The road network, including FM 1786 and Co RD 312, connects these dispersed landmarks across a landscape of shifting industry and traditional rural roots.
