About this map

The Lampasas River winds through this rural landscape on the border of Coryell and Lampasas Counties, anchoring a network of small upland settlements and family landmarks. The mid-1950s terrain is characterized by its numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, such as Rock Church, Clay Rock Ch, and the Rock Church Cemetery. These features, along with several family-named cemeteries like Smith Cem and Garner Cem, provide significant data for genealogical research in this part of Texas.

Small communities like Rumley and Grundyville serve as local hubs, connected by winding creeks including Lucy Creek, Fall Creek, and Burleson Branch. Significant elevations such as Franklin Mountain, Round Mountain, and Crawford Mountain define the topography between the river valley and the county line, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of the central Texas hill country before modern suburban development.
