About this map

Nix sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, a small community hub defined by its proximity to Nix Cemetery and the intersection of Co RD 53 and FM 580. The terrain is shaped by the presence of significant high points such as Waters Mountain and Cedar Top Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages and creek beds. In the northeast, the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and its associated dam reflect mid-century efforts to manage water flow and erosion across the ranchlands of Lampasas County.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of old ranch roads like Watson-Yeary RD and Mccreaville RD as they wind through the southern sections near Goodland Ridge. The map identifies localized features like Graveyard Hollow near Pitt Creek Cemetery, providing specific geographic context for families tied to these rural Texas settlements. This 2010 edition serves as a precise record of the land's hydrology, including named branches like Espy Branch and the Middle Fork Yancey Creek.
