2016 Map of Hammond

About this map

Tidwell Prairie defines the central topography of this Robertson County landscape, where rural life is anchored by family-named roads and remote burial grounds. The settlement of Hammond sits along the rail line and major thoroughfare, while Salter occupies the western edge near the Little Brazos River Diversion Channel. This 2016 survey documents a complex network of creeks, including Walnut Cr and Big Willow Cr, which drain the prairie land. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of the Bethlehem Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and the uniquely named Cotton-Cottonwood-Shilo Cem. The map reveals a transition between agricultural prairie and the river bottomlands, marked by water bodies like Hall Lake and Robertson Lake. The intricate road system, from Shiloh Baptist Church Rd - Williamson Rd to S Tidwell Prairie Rd, illustrates the persistent infrastructure of these historic Texas communities.
