About this map

The San Gabriel River winds through this rural landscape along the boundary of Milam and Williamson counties, anchoring a region defined by small agricultural settlements and family legacies. The community of San Gabriel sits central to a network of farm-to-market roads, while the smaller hamlets of Detmold and Liberty Hill mark the southern reaches of the survey.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites, including the Hernando Gonzalez Familia Cem, Grantham Miles Cem, and the John W. Hamblen Cem, which point to the deep-rooted family landholdings in the area. Water features such as Ellett Camp and Glaser Lake and Alligator Cr drain the undulating terrain, while the presence of the Apache Pass Airport near the river suggests the modernization of this traditionally pastoral Texas countryside.
