About this map

Little River-Academy and the surrounding Bell County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Little River, which meanders through a landscape marked by small rural settlements and agricultural tracts. This 2010 survey illustrates a community anchored by Academy and Sparks, where the layout of local roads like Reeds Lake Rd and Sunshine Rd suggests a long history of family-owned land.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Little River Cemetery, Volo Cemetery, Sunshine Cemetery, and Reed Cemetery. The presence of several small water bodies, such as Langham Lake and Prewitt Lake 5, along with the industrial footprint of the Central Texas Water Supply Water Tower, highlights the water management necessary for this Texas region. From the northern reach of Boggy Creek to the southern drainages of Darrs Creek, the map provides a clear picture of the rural infrastructure at the start of the decade.
