About this map

The Colorado River defines the geography of this central Texas region, winding through a landscape of alluvial bottoms and prairie land. Near the river's path, the Colorado River HWY-71 W Bridge serves as a modern landmark, while the surrounding terrain includes notable elevations such as the Red Bluffs and wide expanses like David Bottom and Crafts Prairie. In the residential and rural areas south of the main town, the presence of the Poyston School and both W Clearview Cemetery and E Clearview Cemetery highlight established community roots.

Water is a persistent theme across the quadrangle, with drainage from Gills Br and Copperas Cr feeding the river, alongside the secluded Bastrop State Park Lake. Small settlements and named locales like Clearview, Upton, and Hills Prairie are interconnected by a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes, illustrating the distribution of local families across the ranch and farmland south of the primary river crossing.
