1954 Map of Evant

About this map

Evant serves as the central hub on this Central Texas landscape where three counties meet at a single point. Located at the intersection of the American Legion Memorial Highway and major regional routes, the town is characterized by its Athletic Field and proximity to local resources like the Evant Pumping Station. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the Lampasas River and Bennett Creek, punctuated by springs such as Beef Pen Spring and Brooks Spring. This mapping effort reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family and community burial grounds including Pilgrims Rest Cemetery, Murphy Cem, and Hines Chapel Cemetery. To the south, Faubion Crossing indicates a historic ford over the river, while the presence of Gholson Gap and a large Pipe Line corridor illustrates how both natural topography and modern infrastructure have shaped the movement of people and resources through this tri-county borderland.
