About this map

Rockdale and the nearby community of Milano anchor this eastern Milam County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and historic burial sites. The area east of the city center is particularly rich in genealogical data, containing the Old City Cem, the Jewish Cem of Rockdale, and the Oaklawn Cem. Further into the countryside, small family and community plots such as the Sefcik - Kohut Cem and Riddle Cem indicate the long-standing agricultural settlement patterns of the region.

The topography rises toward Taylor Mtn and Hart Mtn in the east, while drainage is dominated by the winding paths of Sandy Cr and Mustang Cr. Aviation is a notable part of the modern infrastructure here, with the H H Coffield Regional Airport serving the Rockdale area and the smaller Hensley Ranch Airport situated to the northeast. From the industrial outskirts near Sherwood Forest Lane to the rural reaches of Buer Br, the map captures the transition from a growing Texas town to the quiet cattle and ranch lands of the surrounding county.
