About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this portion of Falls County, defining a landscape of wide bottomlands and intricate waterways. East of the river, the city of Marlin serves as the regional hub, its street grid organized around several small bodies of water including Oil Mill Lake and Marlin Club Lake. The mapping reveals the complex drainage patterns of the river valley, where Barganier Slough and McCullough Slough cut through the terrain toward the main channel.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds on the outskirts of the settlement, specifically Calvary Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the more distant Stallworth Cem near Deer Creek. The rural areas are characterized by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes that connect isolated landmarks like Rocky Hill and Buie Lake to the center at Marlin. The presence of the Falls Cattle Company Lake suggests the continued importance of ranching and large-scale land use in the Texas interior during this period.
