About this map

The Brazos River meanders along the eastern edge of this territory, forming a natural boundary shared by Austin, Washington, and Waller counties. The landscape is defined by the rural settlements of Buckhorn, Sauney Stand, and Raccoon Bend, where the terrain transitions from the river's fertile bottomlands to higher ground marked by scattered family and community burial sites. Genealogists will find a high concentration of historic resting places, including Washam Cem, Buckhorn Cem, and the Samuel Chapel Cem near the center of the sheet.

Local infrastructure relies on a network of farm-to-market roads, such as FM 1371 RD, connecting these small agricultural hubs. Aviation interest is noted at the Eberly Ranch Airport south of Caney Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of several other small cemeteries, such as Thomas Cochran Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing the early residency and lineage of families in this corner of the Texas coastal plain.
