About this map

Holland anchors the southern portion of this Central Texas landscape, where the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts through the terrain. The map details a transition from the agricultural uplands of Bell Plains to the river bottoms where the Lampasas River, Salado Creek, and Little River converge. This drainage network defines the local geography, supporting small rural clusters and early industry like Sommers Mill.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks. Named burial sites such as Holland Cemetery, Post Oak Cem, Bell Plains Cem, and Dallas Cem are clearly marked, alongside community hubs like the Armstrong Community Center and Elm Grove Ch. Near the confluence of the Leon and Little Rivers, the location of the Fort Griffin (Historical Site) provides a specific point of reference for early frontier history in Bell County.
