About this map

The Brazos River meanders across this central Texas landscape, shaping the agriculture and settlement patterns of Falls County as they appeared in 2016. Small communities like Cedar Springs and Pleasant Grove anchor a web of rural county roads that connect isolated farmsteads and family landholdings. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds, including Bull Hill Cem, Jones Cem, and Powell Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local family history.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with distinctive features such as Wild Horse Slough and The Falls along the river's path. Numerous creeks, such as Poole Cr, Hog Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, drain into the Brazos valley, often punctuated by small bodies of water like Lake Winiwaca and Spring Lake. This network of drainage and minor landmarks illustrates the transition between upland prairie and the fertile river bottomlands.
