About this map

The settlement of Hicks serves as a central point in this part of Texas where the borders of Milam, Burleson, and Lee Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of E Yegua Cr, which is fed by numerous smaller waterways including Spring Br, Allen Cr, and Hills Br. These creek systems create a complex network of drainage basins across the terrain, influencing the rural road patterns such as FM 908 and various county routes that navigate between the watercourses.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved on this sheet. On the western edge near the Milam County line, the Forest Grove Cem is a notable landmark, while the Harmony Cem sits further north. The map illustrates a rural Texas environment where agricultural life is deeply tied to the presence of water, with named branches like Pin Oak Br and Harvey Br providing clear geographic markers for land ownership and family history research.
