About this map

The Leon River and its numerous tributaries dominate this landscape on the border of Comanche and Hamilton counties. This area is characterized by a high density of rural family burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research in this portion of Texas. Family names are preserved through sites like Tillinghouse Cem, Barnett Cem, and Fequa Cem, as well as the historic Gentrys Mill Cem.

Topographical variation is most pronounced near Owl Hollow and the valleys formed by Warren Cr and Pecan Cr. The map reveals a network of county roads that follow the contours of the drainage systems, connecting dispersed farmsteads across the undulating terrain. The presence of Toliver Cem near Resley Cr further emphasizes the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the local community throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries.
