About this map

Hanover serves as the central point of this Milam County landscape, where the winding course of the Little River carves through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The area is defined by its numerous small waterways, including Cannonsnap Cr, Maysfield Cr, and Pin Oak Cr, which drain the varied terrain of Wilson Hill and the uniquely named Eland Rough. This rural Texas landscape is notably rich in family and community burial grounds, offering significant value for genealogical research.

Several distinct cemeteries are scattered throughout the region, such as the Oxsheer Smith Cem near Smith Ranch and the Coxes Providence Community Cem. The map also records more curiously named landmarks like the Hanged Man's Cem in the south, while other markers like Westbrook Walker Cem and Blakely Cem point to the deep-rooted family histories established along these creek beds. The southern portion is further characterized by Armstrong Lake and the confluence of Yellow Rabbit Br and Beaver Cr.
