About this map

Belfalls and the surrounding central Texas countryside are defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named cemeteries at the boundary of Falls Co and Bell Co. The landscape is etched by numerous watercourses including Hoolia Cr, Indian Grave Cr, and Pond Cr, which flow through a region primarily organized around agricultural roads and small hamlets like Cego and Blevins.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey provides precise locations for several burial sites, such as Jena Cem, Theo Cem, and the Old Oenaville Cem near Oenaville. Modern landmarks such as Steakley Dam and Zaleski Lake offer points of reference for those tracing more recent changes to the hydrology of the Blackland Prairie region, while the density of named rural roads indicates the persistent importance of the local transit network connecting these historic communities.
