About this map

Chambers Creek and its many tributaries, including White Rock Branch and Hog Creek, dominate this central Texas landscape near the settlement of Avalon. The 2010 geography is defined by an extensive network of flood control structures, with numerous Soil Conservation Service dams such as Soil Conservation Service Site 108 Dam and Site 92 Dam punctuating the drainage basins of Big Onion Creek and Mill Creek.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the rural acreage, including Maloney Cemetery in the north and Dear Cemetery near the community of Avalon. Small settlements like Lumkins and Lone Cedar are connected by a web of named rural routes such as Hughes Cemetary Rd and Odom Rd. The presence of Fort Lake and the various conservation sites reflects the area's twentieth-century transition toward managed water resources and agricultural stabilization.
