2010 Map of Maysfield

About this map

The Brazos River forms the eastern boundary of this landscape, where the rural settlements of Maysfield, Branchville, Crossroads, and Jones Prairie are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads. This 2010 survey highlights a burial record of Milam County's early families, including the G A Love Cemetery, Nance Cemetery, and Harrell Cemetery. The presence of the Little River Baptist Cemetery and String Prairie Methodist Cemetery underscores the central role of community congregations in this agricultural region. Evidence of local industry is found in the northeast corner at the Calvert Oil Field, while water management is noted by the McCrary Lake Dam and the Black Bridge crossing. The terrain is defined by several seasonal drainages such as Tyson Creek, Polecat Creek, and Harl Creek, which feed into the larger river system.
