2016 Map of Holland

About this map

The confluence of the Leon River, Lampasas River, and Little River defines the hydrologic landscape of this Bell County region. Near the northern margin, the city of Belton extends into the quadrangle, while the southern portion is anchored by the town of Holland. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage systems, including the winding course of Salado Creek and Runnells Cr, which flow through a mix of agricultural plots and residential development. Local history is preserved through several rural burial sites, such as Bell Plains Cem and Post Oak Cem, which are tucked away from the main corridors. The topographic relief is punctuated by Hartrick Bluff overlooking the river bottoms, while the name Summers Mill along the creek suggests the area's early water-powered industry. A network of farm-to-market roads, such as FM 2268, connects these scattered settlements across the undulating prairie.
