2016 Map of Pettibone

About this map

Pettibone and the surrounding Milam County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Little River, which meanders through a network of sloughs and small lakes. This rural Texas environment is deeply marked by its local history, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds that dot the area, including Dansby Cem, Dockery Cem, and Grelner Cem. The river's influence is clear in the naming of features like Ackerman Slough and Wolf Spring Slough, while infrastructure like the Norman Valley Bridge and Holtzclaw Bridge connects the agricultural lands. In the northwest, the edge of Buckholts appears along the highway, while natural depressions like Indian Hollow and Hall Hollow break the terrain near the seasonal flows of Cottonwood Cr and Bear Cr.
