About this map

Gentrys Mill serves as a central landmark in this portion of Central Texas where the border between Comanche and Hamilton counties meanders through a landscape defined by the Leon River and its numerous tributaries. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Pecan Cr, Warren Cr, and Resley Cr, which have shaped the local topography into features such as Owl Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the rural landscape. These include Toliver Cem, Fuqua Cem, Barnett Cem, and Tillinghouse Cem, each marking early settlement patterns far from the denser town centers. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region where local travel is facilitated by a grid of numbered county roads, such as Co RD 108 and Co RD 396, providing access to the fertile lands along the river bottoms and upland pastures.
