Nolanville and the expansive waters of Stillhouse Hollow Lake dominate this Central Texas landscape at the turn of the decade. The map reveals a complex hydraulic system managed by the Soil Conservation Service, with numerous reservoirs and dams such as Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Dam regulating the flow of South Nolan Creek. This network underscores the regional importance of water management and flood control in Bell County. Along the southern banks of the Lampasas River, recreational and community sites are prominent, including Camp Tahuaya and Proctor Cemetery. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows the residential growth of Westcliff bordering Belton Lake, while landmarks like The Narrows and Chalk Ridge Falls highlight the distinct local topography. Historic burial grounds such as McDowell Cemetery and Burris Cemetery provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing family roots near Comanche Gap.
