About this map

Maysfield and the surrounding agricultural lands of Milam County are defined by a dense network of country roads and numerous rural burial sites. This landscape, situated just west of the Brazos River, reveals a history of small communities like Jones Prairie and Branchville that persisted through the late 20th century. The concentration of cemeteries, such as the Little River Baptist Cem and String Prairie Methodist Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of localized settlement along the various creek drainages including Harl Cr and Maysfield Cr.

The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the winding course of the Brazos River, which serves as the boundary between Milam and Robertson counties. Interior features like McCrary Lake and Tyson Cr provide drainage for the undulating terrain. While larger towns are absent, the map documents the persistent rural infrastructure of Central Texas, where farm-to-market roads like FM 485 and FM 979 connect these dispersed hamlets and family landmarks.
