2013 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland anchors the southeastern corner of this Central Texas landscape, where the confluence of several major waterways defines the local geography. The northern reaches of the map are shaped by the winding paths of the Lampasas River, Leon River, and the Little River, which come together in a complex network of tributaries including Salado Cr and Cathey Cr. This area illustrates a typical transition from the historic river-side settlement of Sommers Mill to the more structured grid of the town center, where the City of Holland Water Tower stands as a local landmark. Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the rural terrain, including Bell Plains Cem, Center Lake Cem, Post Oak Cem, and the Holland Cem near the town site. The map traces the modern evolution of farm-to-market roads and local spurs that connect these scattered community sites across the Blackland Prairie region.
