About this map

The Brazos River winds through the borderlands of Milam, Falls, and Robertson Counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by scattered settlements and family-named landmarks. Near the bend of the river, Baileyville serves as a small community hub, supported by a Community Hall and nearby rural institutions. The 1970s revisions to this survey highlight a complex hydrologic network, including the Little Brazos River Diversion Channel and the persistent meandering of Hog Creek and Pond Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Caddo Cem, Bozeman Cem, and the Allday-Jones Cem. The agricultural character of the era is evidenced by local operations like the Hooper Ranch and Salter Farm, while the Missouri Pacific railroad provides the primary industrial artery through the north, passing near the settlement of Eloise.
