About this map

Ben Arnold and the nearby crossroads of Silver City occupy a landscape defined by the winding course of the Little River and its numerous tributaries in Milam County. The area’s rural character is emphasized by a high density of family and community burial sites, including Walkers Creek Cem, Vogel-Sang Cem, and Beale Cem. These features, alongside named points like Yellow Bluff, provide a look at the traditional settlement patterns of central Texas before modern expansion.

Water management and local agriculture are central to the terrain, marked by features such as Indian Springs, Cobb Lake, and Thomas Estate Lake. In the southern portion of the map, the Cameron Municipal Airpark sits near the outskirts of Quinif, representing the intersection of early 21st-century infrastructure and long-standing ranching and farming operations. The drainage networks of Walkers Cr and Big Elm Cr continue to shape the local geography as they feed into the primary river valley.
