About this map

The tri-county boundary where Hamilton, Comanche, and Mills counties meet defines this rural landscape in Central Texas. The topography is characterized by distinctive elevations like Cowhouse Mtn, Schoen Mtn, and Becker Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Cowhouse Cr and its tributaries, including Washboard Cr and Walnut Cr, dictate the placement of local ranch roads and farm-to-market routes.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside. The presence of Saint Johns Cem near the western boundary, the central Indian Gap Cem, and the Spivey - Baxter Cem in the east provide essential anchors for tracing family lineages in this sparsely populated region. The map also records the transition from state-maintained roads like FM 218 to localized routes such as Ranch Rd 575.
