2019 Map of Alcoa Lake

About this map

Sandow and the industrial landscape of the Alcoa Lake reservoir dominate this part of Central Texas, where the local economy and topography were reshaped by large-scale mining and resource management. The area shows a high density of rural burial grounds, likely reflecting established family plots and early church communities that predated the industrial shifts. Genealogists will find a wealth of information in the numerous documented sites including Pleasant Hill Cem, Bingham Cem, and the Hamilton Chapel Cem near the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of E Yegua Cr and Rocky Cr, which cut through the landscape alongside a network of county roads such as Co RD 447 and FM 1786. The boundary between Milam Co and Lee Co is visible to the south near Beulah Cem, marking a clear division in this largely rural and resource-focused region.
