About this map

Baileyville stands as a central settlement in this rural landscape at the intersection of Milam Co, Falls Co, and Robertson Co. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Brazos River and the parallel Little Brazos River, which includes a notable Little Brazos River Diversion Channel. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a distributed network of rural life, anchored by small community hubs like Eloise and family-named landmarks such as Hooper Ranch and Salter Farm.

Genealogists will find a concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Bozeman Cem, Caddo Cem, and Stoneham Cem. The map also documents a strong ecclesiastical presence with several rural churches like Morning Star Ch and Mt Zion Ch serving the area. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the northern section, facilitating the movement of goods between the river-fed bottomlands and the surrounding agricultural tracts.
