About this map

Evant serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape where Hamilton, Coryell, and Lampasas counties meet. The settlement is situated at the intersection of several key routes including FM 183 and FM 2414, marking a transition from the upland cattle country toward the Lampasas River valley. This 2019 survey documents a landscape deeply connected to its water sources, evidenced by the numerous named springs such as Beef Pen Spring, Tan Yard Spring, and Burr Oak Spring that dot the drainages.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds throughout the quadrangle. From the Murphy Cem in the north to the Hines Chapel Cem in the south, these sites, along with Gholson Gap, provide clear spatial anchors for tracing early Texas landholdings and family histories along the banks of Heatley Br and Bennett Cr.
