About this map

The Lampasas River winds through the northern reaches of this Central Texas landscape, defining a terrain of seasonal creeks and named hollows near the turn of the 21st century. The settlement of Oakalla serves as a local anchor in the north, while Briggs marks the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a network of ranch roads and rural lanes, such as Smith Cemetery Rd and Dillingham Loop, that connect scattered residences and agricultural tracts.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Smith Cemetary and Gillum Cemetery. The physical geography is marked by distinct features like Happy Ridge and the drainage patterns of Miller Branch, Rocky Creek, and Mill Creek. These watercourses and ridges illustrate the rural character of Burnet County before further modern subdivision, preserving the footprint of traditional Texas ranching country.
