About this map

Cobbs Cavern anchors this mid-century survey of the limestone landscape where the boundaries of Bell County and Williamson County meet. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of Salado Creek, including its North and South forks, alongside family-named watercourses like Smalley Branch and Dry Glasscock Branch. These waterways were central to the rural life of the area, as evidenced by the distribution of Pecan Springs and Cobbs Springs.

Genealogists and local historians can trace small family burial grounds such as Salyer-Millard Cem, Farmer Cem, and Land Cem, which remain as markers of the early ranching and farming community. The map also reveals the industrial footprints of numerous Gravel Pits, including one noted as Gravel Pit (Short), and a small Landing Field, reflecting the gradual modernization of this Texas Hill Country transition zone.
