About this map

The settlement of Chilton serves as the primary hub of this central Texas landscape, situated at the junction of several rural routes including FM 107. The area is defined by a dendritic network of creeks and bayous, most notably Cow Bayou and Deer Cr, which drain toward the Brazos River at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Local industry and land use are clearly visible through the presence of the Post Oak Oil Field and Deer Creek Oil Field, indicating the importance of energy extraction alongside traditional agriculture.

Smaller rural communities and named locales such as Golinda, Satin, and North Prairie are connected by an extensive grid of county roads, reflecting a late 20th-century transition toward more modern rural development. For those researching local family history, the Cedar Valley Cem stands near the eastern boundary, while landmarks like Tomlinson Lake and the Soil Conservation Service Site 30 Reservoir highlight the region's water management history.
