About this map

Hico serves as the primary hub in this portion of Hamilton County, situated where the North Bosque River meets several local drainage systems like Grubbs Br and Jacks Hollow Br. The town's grid is well-defined by historic street names such as S Railroad St, Pecan St, and Iredeli Rd, reflecting its development as a regional center. Outside the town center, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Honey Creek and Gilmore Creek, along with several large reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several rural burial grounds, including Honey Creek Cem, Dry Fork Cem, and the larger Hico Cem. The small settlement of Olin sits in the southwestern corner, while the Putty Ranch Airport provides a distinct aviation landmark in the central portion of the map. This survey captures the rural character of the Texas Cross Timbers region, balancing agricultural infrastructure with the established community of Hico.
