2016 Map of Davilla

About this map

Davilla Cem and the surrounding rural community sit at the intersection of FM 487 and FM 437, representing a long-standing settlement pattern in this corner of Milam County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Donahoe Cr and Alligator Cr, which are punctuated by numerous water management features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir. Small family and community burial grounds, including the Pruett Family Cem and Science Hill Cem, are scattered throughout the agricultural parcels, offering valuable points of interest for genealogists tracking early residents. The area's transition from open ranching to managed water resources is evident in the named lakes such as Neusch Lake Number 1 and Stigall Lake Number One, while the small settlement of Vilas remains a distinct marker in the northern section of the survey.
