About this map

Gay Hill and the surrounding Washington County landscape are defined by a complex network of creeks and legacy family cemeteries. The terrain is bisected by Yegua Creek, which forms the border with Burleson County to the north, while smaller waterways like Tommelson Cr and Chriesman Br drain the rolling countryside. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research, containing numerous burial sites such as Old Gay Hill Baptist Church Cem Number One, Old Gay Hill Baptist Church Cem Number Two, and Saint Peters Lutheran Cem.

Modern infrastructure, including the Rancho Verde Airport, sits alongside older rural landmarks. Smaller settlements like Scofield appear near water bodies such as Baker Lake, illustrating the long-standing relationship between local hydrology and human habitation. The road network, featuring routes like FM 390 and FM 1361, connects these dispersed communities and historical church sites, preserving the rural character of this Central Texas region.
