2016 Map of Robinson

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through the eastern portion of this landscape, defining the transition from the urban reach of southern Waco to the agricultural plains of McLennan and Falls counties. This modern topographic record captures the established rural communities of Downsville, Rosenthal, and Golinda as they sit amidst a network of creek drainages including Castleman Cr and Bull Hide Cr. For genealogical researchers, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Mount Olive Cem, Fletcher Cem, and Christian Cem, which reflect the long-standing settlement history of these farming districts.
