About this map

Ellinger serves as the central hub of this survey, located where FM 955 meets a network of local streets such as Grover ST and Forstrand ST. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River, which carves a sharp path through the southern half of the quadrangle. This riverine geography includes the prominent Horseshoe Bend, a significant hydrologic feature that has shaped local land use and transportation routes like Burnham Ferry Rd. In the east, the terrain rises toward Rocky Hill and Live Oak Hill, punctuating the relatively level agricultural and ranching lands that dominate the region.

Genealogists and local historians can find several important burial sites, including Adkins Cem, Bottger Cem, and Shaws Bend Cem. These sites, along with numerous family-named roads such as Kallus Beyer RD and Zapalac RD, provide a clear record of the settlement patterns along the Fayette Co and Colorado Co border. Numerous tributaries, such as Pettys Cr and Duttys Cr, weave through the countryside, supporting the rural economy and marking property boundaries established over generations.
