About this map

Granger Lake and the San Gabriel River corridor anchor this landscape in Williamson and Milam counties. The map documents several small agricultural and rural communities including Friendship, Laneport, Hare, Hoxie, and Sandoval. These settlements are interconnected by a network of farm-to-market roads like FM 1331 and FM 971, alongside numerous county roads that follow the section lines and topography of the blackland prairie.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial grounds such as Allison Cem, Young Cem, C A Hamblen Cem, and New Bern Cem, which provide clues to the family histories of this Central Texas region. Water management is a defining feature of the area, illustrated by the series of reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and the drainage of creeks like Pecan Cr and Turkey Cr.
