About this map

Milam Co Burleson Co, Burleson Co Lee Co, and Milam Co Lee Co county lines intersect in this Central Texas landscape, where the drainage of the E Yegua Cr and its many tributaries dictates the layout of the local road network. The rural character of the area is anchored by scattered burial grounds, including Harmony Cem in the north and Black Jack Cem to the east.

A complex system of local routes, such as FM 908, Co RD 320, and Silver Springs Rd, connects small farmsteads across a terrain etched by numerous watercourses like Allen Cr, Reece Cr, and Hills Br. The map reveals the persistence of traditional land divisions and the importance of creek-fed valleys in this agricultural and oil-producing region, with features like Oil Field Rd signaling local industry amidst the rural pastures.
