About this map

The Colorado River meanders through this portion of Colorado County, defining a landscape shaped by both early Texas settlement and mid-century industry. The settlement of Alleyton serves as a focal point, situated near a dense network of gravel extraction sites and the Southern Pacific tracks. Historical markers such as the Alley House and the Atascosito Crossing indicate the deep roots of the Alley family and the importance of early transit corridors.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including the Grewe Cem, Alley Cem, and the Mexican Cem. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Hahn Bottoms and the Ramsey Gas Field, illustrating the economic shift toward resource extraction. An Old Railroad Grade and numerous watercourses like Coushatta Creek and Sandy Branch further detail the rural infrastructure of the late 1950s.
