2010 Map of Gentrys Mill

About this map

Leon River meanders across the central landscape of this rural Hamilton County region, shaping a network of tributaries that define the local topography. Small communities such as Sunshine, Springtown, and Spurlin anchor the northern and central sections, connected by a web of county roads including Sunshine Rd and Co Rd 105. The area is notably rich in family history and genealogical markers, as evidenced by the distribution of numerous burial grounds like Tillinghouse Cemetery, Toliver Cemetery, and Barnett Cemetery. The southern reaches are characterized by the meeting of several watercourses, including Warren Creek, Little Bear Creek, and South Mesquite Creek. The namesake Gentrys Mill sits as a primary landmark, reflecting the agricultural and water-reliant history of this Central Texas landscape where small-scale settlements and seasonal creek branches like Owl Hollow intersect.
