About this map

Mart serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the intersection of McLennan and Falls counties. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring local landmarks such as the Stadium and the Mart Cemetery. Surrounding the settlement, the terrain is characterized by a network of waterways including Big Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Hogpen Creek, which delineate the agricultural and pastoral land.

An Old Railroad Grade cuts through the territory, marking the path of former transit lines that once connected the region's smaller communities. To the northeast, the small settlement of Victoria appears near Christmas Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial sites, including Evergreen Cemetery and White Cemetery, which are essential for tracing early family roots in this tri-county border area.
