About this map

Belfalls and Blevins sit at the center of this rural Falls County landscape, characterized by a complex network of small creek drainages and agricultural land. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Pond Creek, Indian Grave Creek, and Hoolia Creek, which dictate the placement of county roads and early homesteads. To the south, Oenaville lies near the confluence of Big Elm Creek and Pecan Creek, illustrating how early settlements followed the fertile bottoms of the Texas blackland prairies.

Local history is preserved at Theo Cemetery and Jena Cemetery, while the small hamlet of Durango anchors the northeastern corner. Infrastructure for local water management is evident at Steakley Dam and Zaleski Lake, supporting the farming operations that define the area's economy. The map provides a detailed record of the interconnected rural roads, such as Theo Loop and Oil Loop, that have served these farming communities for generations.
