About this map

The community of Red Rock serves as a central hub in this survey, where the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts across the landscape near Bateman. The map reveals a cluster of settlements and family-named landmarks on the border of Bastrop and Caldwell counties, characterized by a transition from the drainage of Walnut Creek in the north to the more complex network of Upper Elm Creek and Sandy Creek to the south.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented here, including Meredith Cem, Hendrix Cem, and Clarks Cem. The placement of Old Red Rock Cem relative to the modern townsite illustrates the shifting center of community life during the mid-20th century. Notable terrain features like Flag Hill and the localized industrial footprint of a Gravel Pit provide a clear view of the physical and economic geography of this Central Texas region.
