About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, where the borders of Brown, McCulloch, and San Saba counties converge. Surveyed in 1925, the terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Blizzard Mtn and Brushy Mtn, which overlook a network of creek drainages including Deep Creek and Antelope Creek. This era of development is captured in the early alignment of State Highway No 9, which serves the small settlements of Milburn and Dulin.

The map reveals a rural community structured around local institutions, most notably the Elm Grove Church and its neighboring Elm Grove School. To the south, Holt School stands as another center for the dispersed homesteads of the region. This topography was refined using early aerial photographs provided by the Air Service, U. S. Army, offering a transition from traditional ground surveying to modern cartographic techniques in the mid-1920s.
