McDade anchors this portion of Bastrop County, characterized by a complex network of creeks feeding the larger watershed including West Yegua Creek and Rocky Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as The Knobbs and Yegua Knobbs, which rise above the surrounding prairie and brushland. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, identifying the Old Knobbs Springs Cemetery and New Knobbs Springs Cemetery near the settlement of Knobbs Springs, as well as Sanders Cemetery, Dube Cemetery, and High Hill Cemetery. The road network transitions from the paved corridor of Old Hwy 20 to numerous rural routes like Paint Creek Rd and Stockade Ranch Rd, illustrating the persistence of rural land divisions and family ranching operations in this part of Texas during the early 21st century.
