About this map

The Colorado River winds through this Central Texas landscape near the rural communities of Milburn and Elm Grove. Long-standing family ties to the land are evident in the presence of Beasley Cem and McCarty Cem, located near historical river fords like Beasley Crossing and Keys Crossing. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems and notable high points such as Buzzard Mtn and Brushy Mtn.

Modern water management is a significant feature of this era's landscape, illustrated by a network of engineered catchments including Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and the various units of the Southeast Laterals Watershed. These structures reflect a decades-long effort to manage runoff in a region shaped by both its dry upland hollows, like Oldham Hollow, and its network of seasonal creeks including Antelope Cr and Rough Br.
