2012 Map of Blanket

About this map

The town of Blanket anchors this portion of Brown County, where a grid of rural roads and county routes connects small communities and agricultural lands. This 2012 study reveals a landscape heavily managed for water conservation, defined by a dense network of reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir. These sites manage the flow of local waterways like Blanket Creek and Salt Creek, which drain the area surrounding Salt Mountain. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, such as Rock Church Cemetery and Routh Cemetery, situated at the periphery of the central settlement. The intersection of local transit and geography is further marked by Delaware Junction and the community of Antioch, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of central Texas.
