About this map

The confluence of the Brazos River and Little River defines this river-bottom landscape in Milam and Robertson counties. Near the northern boundary, the settlement of Port Sullivan sits along the Brazos, a site of early river navigation and trade. Further south, the town of Gause serves as a local hub, anchored by its grid of streets and proximity to the rail lines passing through Valley Junction.

Relief in this region is notable for prominent heights like Sugarloaf Mountain and Long Mountain, which rise above the surrounding plains and drainage basins of Threemile Creek and Dollar Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Long Cemetery and Armstrong Cemetery, situated among the network of farm-to-market roads that connect these small rural communities. The map also captures local water management features, including Green Lake and its associated Green Lake Dam.
