About this map

The town of Evant sits at a multi-county junction where Hamilton, Coryell, and Lampasas counties meet in central Texas. This landscape is defined by the winding course of the Lampasas River and a network of seasonal drainages including Dry Br, Bennett Cr, and Heatley Br. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landforms like Gholson Gap, which likely influenced early travel routes through the area.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, including Murphee Cem, Kingsbury Rest Land Cem, and Hines Chapel Cem. The map reveals a rural economy supported by established water sources such as Brooks Spring, Beef Pen Spring, and Tan Yard Spring. The extensive network of county roads, such as Co RD 115 and Co RD 531, connects these disparate homesteads and natural features to the central hub at Evant.
