About this map

Lincoln serves as a focal point in this Lee County landscape, where rural communities are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and cattle-guards. The geography is defined by the drainage of Yegua Creek and its many tributaries, such as Blue Buck Creek and Middle Yegua Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain of the Buzzard Knobs. This 2016 survey documents a region deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds including Saint Peters Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Gloyna Cem.

The settlement pattern reflects a long-standing agricultural tradition, with scattered farmsteads and small clusters like Loebau and Leo. Notable landmarks like Doak Springs and Gum Spring suggest the importance of natural water sources in the early development of these communities. Large private tanks such as Molty Smith Lake and Knox Lake further illustrate the managed water resources essential for the local ranching economy.
