2010 Map of Rockdale West

About this map

Rockdale serves as the focal point of this Milam County landscape, showing its residential and industrial layout as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of rural cemeteries that speak to the long-standing family lineages and community organizations of the region, including the International Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, the Garza Family Cemetery, and the Murray Cemetery. Water features like the winding San Gabriel River and its various tributaries, such as Alligator Creek and Brushy Slough, dictate the topography of the outlying agricultural land. Small rural settlements like Tracy, Marjorie, and Praesel are documented along the country roads and rail corridors. For those studying local recreation and infrastructure, the inclusion of the Fair Park Racetrack and Voss Lake Dam provides specific evidence of community development outside the city center.
