2019 Map of Little River

About this map

Little River-Academy is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which carves a deep, serpentine path through central Bell County. The dual settlements of Little River and Academy anchor the northern landscape, while the community of Sparks sits to the southwest. This area preserves a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Little River Cem, Volo Cem, and Sunshine Cem, reflecting the deep roots of agricultural families in the region. The topography rises toward Knob Hill in the east, overlooking a network of seasonal waterways like Runnells Cr and Georgia Br. Near the eastern boundary, specialized water features such as Lansham Lake and Prewitt Lake 5 suggest the importance of managed water resources for the local landscape. The map also captures the transition from Bell County into Milam County along its southern edge near the Little River.
