About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this portion of Milam County, creating a landscape of sloughs and oxbow lakes such as Ellison Lake, Burns Lake, and Robertson Lake. The rural character of the region is defined by scattered farmsteads and small communities like Baileyville and Eloise, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes. To the east, the Little Brazos River Diversion Channel redirects flow near Salter Farm, illustrating modern hydraulic management of the river system.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly valuable for its density of family and community burial sites. Numerous small cemeteries are preserved in the landscape, including Caddo Cem, Morning Star Cem, Bozeman Cem, and Allday Jones Cem. These locations, along with landmarks like the Hopper Ranch, provide a spatial record of long-established family ties to the land along the banks of Hog Cr and Pond Cr.
