2016 Map of Elgin East

About this map

Elgin anchors the western edge of this 2016 terrain study, where the city grid meets the drainage basins of central Texas. The landscape is defined by the southeasterly flow of Big Sandy Cr and its tributaries, including Dogwood Cr and Mclaughlin Cr, which carve through the undulating countryside toward the Lee and Bastrop county line. The map captures a mix of rural industry and local history, featuring two distinct landing strips, the Elgin Intracontinental Airport and the smaller Hawken Air One Airport. Genealogists will find value in the preservation of several rural burial grounds, such as Smith Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and Morgan Chapel Cem, which remain as fixed landmarks amidst the evolving road network connecting the settlements of Butler and McDade.
