About this map

Brazos River meanders through the heart of this East Texas landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and sloughs that define local land use and boundaries. The settlement of Baileyville serves as a central point in this rural area, which is deeply rooted in its local history and family heritage as evidenced by the high concentration of named burial sites. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are numerous family and community landmarks, including Macedonia Cemetery and Stoneham Cemetery.

Water management is prominent in the terrain, seen in the Ellison Lake Dam and the Little Brazos River Diversion Channel, which redirect natural flow for local agricultural or industrial needs. To the north, the small community of Eloise sits near Duck Lake, while the western portion is drained by Hog Creek. The map reflects a landscape of active ranching and farming, notably at the Hopper Ranch and Salter Farm.
