About this map

Millican and the surrounding Brazos County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Brazos River and Navasota River floodplains. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural region where small settlements like Nelleva, Dinkins, and Dallam are interconnected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 2154 RD and FM 159. The terrain features the prominent Navasota Ridge and is carved by numerous watercourses such as Big Creek and Millican Creek, reflecting the importance of water management through sites like the Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the location of several historic burial grounds, including Weaver Cemetery, Millican Cemetery, and Barker Cemetery. The presence of the Tom J Moore Farm Airport and the distinct Hidalgo Falls on the Brazos River highlights the mix of private land use and natural landmarks. The map also records the legacy of rail and road transportation through the alignment of Old HWY 6 and the layout of communities like Cawthon and Allenfarm.
