1910 Map of Buckholts
USGS Topo · Published 1911About this map
The winding Little River carves a deep, serpentine path through Milam County in this hydraulic study focused on flood protection and levee planning. Surveyed by Arthur A. Stiles, the landscape is defined by the river’s oxbows and the low-lying basins of Mumford Lake and the Slough. This early 20th-century view captures the transition of the Brazos River Valley into a managed agricultural corridor, indicated by the preliminary levee divisions labeled B-1 through B-6. Settlement is scattered among family-held lands such as Elmore Farm and the colorfully named Stink Hill Farm, centered around the Live Oak School. Essential river crossings, including the Wire Bridge, Bryant Station Bridge, and Cummins Bridge, highlight the vital importance of maintaining overland connections across this complex drainage network of Donahoe Creek and Corinth Creek.
