About this map

Lake Bastrop dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its shoreline defining recreational areas like the North Shore Recreation Area and South Shore Recreation Area. The Camp Swift Military Reservation occupies the northern reaches, intersected by a network of drainage branches such as Dogwood Branch and Harris Creek. To the west, the winding course of the Colorado River creates prominent geographic features including Powell Bend and Reed Bend.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the cultural imprint of the region through numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Mt Zion Ch and the Oak Hill Cem. Small settlements like Sayersville, Dunstan, and Phelan are linked by the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line, while the southern edge of the map transitions into the northern portion of Bastrop and the wooded terrain of Bastrop State Park.
