2013 Map of Briggs

About this map

The Lampasas River flows through the northern reaches of this Central Texas landscape, where the small communities of Oakalla and Briggs serve as the primary hubs. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural terrain defined by intricate drainage patterns, with Rocky Cr, Mill Cr, and Berry Cr feeding into larger river systems. The northern topography is marked by notable depressions like Toby Hollow and Williams Hollow, while the elevated Happy Rdg offers a distinct contrast to the creek bottoms. Genealogists and local historians will find the Gillum Cem preserved here, along with a network of rural roads such as Smith Cemetery Rd and Rock Bottom Rd that reflect the area's agricultural and ranching heritage. The map documents the transition from small town centers like Briggs, centered around Pearl St, to the wide-open ranch lands that define this portion of Burnet County.
