About this map

The Brazos River defines the eastern boundary of this Austin County landscape, where the agricultural traditions of the region are anchored by the Coehatte Agricultural Society Hall. While Bellville sits on the western edge, the interior is dotted with rural settlements and community hubs like Burleigh and Ives. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Piney Creek, Mill Creek, and Ives Creek, which support a mix of woodland and open field.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community landmarks, from the Pilgrims Rest Cem to the Dethloff Cem and Abel Cem. Local education and faith are represented by the Grant Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch. Industrial activity is evident in the northeast through the Racoon Bend Oil Field, while the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad provides a primary transportation corridor through the southwest.
