About this map

Family legacies and rural burial grounds mark the landscape of Bastrop County, southwest of the city of Bastrop. This modern topographic study reveals a high concentration of cemeteries that reflect the area's deep genealogical roots, from the Alexander Eldridge Cem and Addison Litton Cem to the Camposanto De Cedar Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Greens Cr, Walnut Cr, and the prominent Lower Cedar Hollow, which cut through the undulating elevations.

Transportation corridors like FM 1209 Farm-To-Market Rd and Union Chapel Rd provide the modern framework for this region, connecting older landmarks such as Voss Lake with growing residential road networks. Local history is literally etched into the map through dozens of family-named landmarks, including the Sol Wright Cem and Wright - Penterf Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the early settlers who established this portion of the Texas Blackland Prairies.
