2022 Map of Alum

About this map

Nockenut and Alum anchor this rural Texas landscape, where the drainage of Ecleto Cr and its tributaries define the settlement patterns. The area is characterized by a network of local roads such as FM 1681 E and Oilfield Rd, serving a countryside marked by family-named landmarks and traditional burial grounds. Genealogists will find significance in the distribution of sites like Nockenut Cem, Leach Cem, and Neyland Cem, which sit isolated among the creeks. The southern edge of the survey reaches the outskirts of Stockdale, showing the transition from open grazing and oil-producing land to more concentrated town planning. Numerous water features, including Steel Br, Clifton Br, and Alum Cr, cross the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network that has shaped property lines and agricultural use in Wilson County for generations.
