About this map

East Yegua Creek defines the low-lying drainage patterns of this rural landscape along the Burleson and Lee county line. The 1960 field check reveals a community-centered settlement pattern typical of the era, where small rural hubs like Deanville and Old Dime Box served as local anchors. The map is particularly dense with sites of genealogical interest, including Belltown Cem, Hranice Cem, and the San Antonio Prairie Cem.

Transport and education are represented by the Southern Pacific railroad line and the Sulphur Spring Sch, suggesting the infrastructure that once supported these dispersed farming communities. Religious life was similarly distributed among local landmarks like Porters Chapel and Providence Ch. The presence of the East Yegua Creek (Old Channel) indicates natural or managed shifts in the local hydrology, while named terrain like Wolphen Hollow and Dry Hollow Creek provide a clear view of the area's physical geography.
