2010 Map of San Gabriel

About this map

The San Gabriel River winds through this Milam County landscape, anchoring a rural community defined by scattered settlements and a deep genealogical record. Small hubs like San Gabriel, Liberty Hill, and Detmold are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 487 and FM 486. The map is particularly notable for its density of burial sites, which suggest the early family-based patterns of land ownership in the region. Names such as the John W Hamblen Cemetery, Locklin Cemetery, and Hernando Gonzalez Familia Cemetery offer significant value for family history research. In the northern reaches, Alligator Creek flows toward the river, while Ellett Camp and Glaser Lake provides a localized water feature. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Turkey Creek and Brushy Creek, illustrating the well-watered prairie typical of this part of central Texas.
