About this map

Middle Yegua Creek and its many tributaries, including Knight Branch and Blue Branch, define the rural landscape of Williamson County as it appeared in 2010. The map captures a transition between pastoral land and early 21st-century infrastructure, centered around the small crossroads of Beaukiss, Shiloh, Adina, and Blue. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of the Guentzel Cemetery and Burns Cemetery, which mark the long-standing family settlements in this part of Texas.

Resource extraction and transportation are prominent themes, evidenced by the Abbott Oil Field in the northwest and the private Wood Triple d Airport to the south. The area's hydrology is notable for several small-scale water management features, such as Draeger Lake and the Draeger Lake Dam. Terrain features like Clay Hill provide localized relief in an otherwise gently undulating landscape dominated by farm-to-market roads and county routes.
