About this map

Davilla serves as the primary hub of this Central Texas landscape where Bell, Milam, and Williamson counties converge. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Little River at the northern edge and the winding paths of Donahoe Creek, Alligator Creek, and Clays Creek further south. These waterways dictate the placement of local landmarks like Dropping Springs and Server Springs, which reflect the area's natural spring-fed hydrology.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Hennington Cem, Science Hill Cem, and Simmons Cem, scattered among the agricultural fields. The map also records the presence of the Landing Strip near Pennington Branch and the Val Verde Ch, illustrating the balance between traditional rural life and mid-century modern infrastructure like Stigall Lake No 1.
