2016 Map of Briggs

About this map

The Lampasas River forms the northern boundary of this central Texas landscape, where the rural communities of Oakalla and Briggs serve as the primary hubs. This area on the Bell and Burnet county line is defined by a network of creeks, including Rocky Cr, Mill Cr, and Berry Cr, which carve through the terrain between high points like Happy Ridge. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, such as Smith Cem, Gillum Cem, Davis Cem, Dillingham Cem, and Mount Moriah Cem. The road network connects these points via routes like G Bar M Rd and RJ Ranch Rd, while geographic features like Williams Hollow and Tom Adams Hollow highlight the local topography. The map illustrates a modern rural infrastructure centered around ranching and small-town Texas life.
