2016 Map of Hicks

About this map

Hicks and Tanglewood anchor this 2016 survey of the rolling borderlands between Lee, Milam, and Burleson counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of E Yegua Cr, which serves as a natural boundary while drawing in a network of tributaries including Allen Cr, Reece Cr, and Hills Br. This modern topographical record shows a region of low-density rural settlement, where traditional local-history markers like Harmony Cem and Forest Grove Cem persist alongside evidence of regional energy infrastructure. The presence of Oil Field Rd and several private roads suggests the ongoing importance of resource extraction and large-tract land use in this part of Texas. A dense web of county roads, such as Co RD 412 and Co RD 314, provides clear documentation of the contemporary transportation grid connecting these small communities.
