About this map

The Brazos River meanders through the central landscape of this Milam and Robertson County border region, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes and secondary waterways. Small rural settlements like Baileyville and Eloise anchor a community defined by its proximity to the river's fertile basin. The landscape is characterized by numerous significant water bodies including Ellison Lake, Burns Lake, and Robertson Lake, alongside a sophisticated drainage system that includes the Little Brazos River Diversion Channel and Hardin Slough.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Named family and community landmarks such as Macedonia Cem, Caddo Cem, and Pearson Cem are scattered throughout the quadrangle. The map captures the intricate relationship between the local geography and its inhabitants, shown through the network of county roads like Co RD 278 and farm-to-market routes that bypass the natural obstacles of Pond Creek and Alligator Cr.
