About this map

The Old San Antonio Rd (OSR) anchors the southeastern corner of this Madison County landscape, tracing a historic travel corridor through a region defined by creeks and small communities. This survey reveals a transition between older settlements and contemporary infrastructure, with Old Elwood and Elwood situated north of the historic road. The area's genealogy is preserved at Tan Yard Cemetery and Alphin Cemetery, while the rural economy is marked by scattered homesteads and local names like Dingerville and Tan Yard.

Water plays a central role in the topography, from the meandering Trinity River and the upper reaches of Livingston Reservoir to smaller basins like Big Dickey Lake and Slaughter Lake. Numerous named drainages, including Cobb Creek and Larrison Creek, create a complex network of branches and flats, such as Goose Prairie. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of rural lanes like Bozeman Ferry Rd and Hamilton Hill Ln, connecting the outlying farms to the settlement at Midway.
