2016 Map of Hanover

About this map

Hanover and its surrounding Milam County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Little River, which carves through the northern half of this terrain. This 2016 survey documents a landscape of deeply folded creek valleys and named high points such as Wilson Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in small burial sites, often associated with specific families or early community groups. These include the Smith Cem, the curiously named Hanged Man's Cem, and the Coxes Providence Community Cem. The map's southern portion transitions into distinct terrain features like Eland Rough and the water source at Beaver Springs, while the network of farm-to-market roads and county routes reveals the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Texas post-oak savannah.
