About this map

Lanham sits at the southern edge of this Central Texas landscape, where the headwaters of several significant drainages emerge from the high ground of the Hamilton Co and Bosque Co line. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Twin Mountains, Lone Mtn, and Stroud Mtn, which separate the various branches of the river systems. Northward-flowing waters like N Prong Meridian Cr and S Prong Meridian Cr eventually join Meridian Cr, while the southern reaches contribute to N Fork Neils Cr.

Local landmarks such as Martin Gap and Long Point provide points of reference within a network of farm-to-market roads like FM 219 and FM 1602. The inclusion of Fairy Cem near the northern boundary provides a valuable touchstone for genealogists and local historians researching the families that settled this portion of the Texas hill country. The map illustrates a rural environment where land use is dictated by the deeply etched creek beds of Fall Cr and Egg Cr.
