2019 Map of Aquilla

About this map

Aquilla Creek winds through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the transition across the Hill and McLennan County line. The terrain is a network of riparian corridors and upland divides, punctuated by small settlements and family-named landmarks. Near the northern reach, the town of Aquilla serves as a local hub, while the southern edge features the community of Gholson and the smaller Wiggins. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Scotts Chapel Cemetery and Prairie Grove Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Snake Creek and Alligator Creek illustrate the natural hydrology that shaped local agriculture. Notable road names like Bad Bad Road and TM West Parkway provide a sense of the modern transportation grid overlaid upon this traditional rural environment.
