2022 Map of Alcoa Lake

About this map

The community of Sandow and the expansive Alcoa Lake characterize this central Texas landscape along the border of Milam and Lee counties. Numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Hamilton Chapel Cem and the Richards - Black Cem, suggest a history of deep-rooted rural settlement patterns. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Rocky Creek, Walleye Creek, and East Yegua Creek, which feed into the primary reservoir area. Extensive road networks like FM 1786 and Co RD 446 connect these small family enclaves and cemeteries, such as Bryant - Massingill Cem and Millerton Cem. The survey provides a clear view of the transition between agrarian land and the industrial developments associated with the lake, offering researchers a look at how regional infrastructure has developed around these older rural landmarks.
