About this map

Bellville and the smaller community of Burleigh anchor this survey of eastern Austin County, where the terrain slopes toward the eastern boundary at the Brazos River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of local watercourses, including Piney Cr, Mill Creek, and Dry Cr, which carve through the land between the numerous family-named roads and rural holdings.

Genealogists will find this particular edition useful for its detailed identification of rural burial grounds scattered across the countryside. Features like Pilgrims Rest Cem, Coshatte Cem, and Abel Cem offer clues to early settlement patterns outside the established town centers. The inclusion of Grawunder Field and several ranch-named landmarks, such as Houston Ranch Ln, reflects the area's continued agricultural and aviation character in the modern era.
