2010 Map of Granger Lake

About this map

Granger Lake and the Granger Dam dominate this Central Texas landscape, where the waters of the San Gabriel River are harnessed for flood control and conservation. The surrounding terrain is a network of small agricultural settlements and rural road systems, including Friendship, Laneport, and Hare. This era is defined by extensive water management efforts, evidenced by the numerous Soil Conservation Service sites, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and several numbered dams along Pecan Creek and Turkey Creek. Genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of family-named landmarks and resting places like the C A Hamblen Cemetery, Young Cemetery, and the Wuthrich Hill Cemetery near Wuthrich Hill. Small communities like Hoxie, Sandoval, and New Bern provide a look at the persistent rural layout of Williamson County in the early 21st century.
