About this map

The North Fork San Gabriel River carves a deep path through this portion of Williamson County, where the landscape is defined by its numerous limestone springs and winding hollows. Settlements like Seward Junction and Rock House anchor the rural road network, while the local genealogy is preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including Anderson Cem, Bullion Cem, and Rocky Hollow Cem.

A notable hydrological concentration appears in the eastern quadrant, where Crockett Gardens Spring and Hogg Spring emerge near Cedar Hollow. The reliance on surface water and local timber is evident in the naming of features such as Walnut Spring and Sycamore Hollow. This 1962 survey captures the area before modern suburban expansion, showing a landscape of scattered homesteads, ranching property lines, and country landmarks like the Union Chapel.
