2012 Map of Shive

About this map

Shive and Schoolerville anchor this rural landscape in central Texas, where a complex network of county roads connects scattered settlements and family burial grounds. The terrain is defined by its drainages and low peaks, such as Vista Mtn and Little Round Mtn, with the northern portion drained by Cowhouse Cr and its tributaries. Local history is preserved through numerous named cemeteries, including Little Cowhouse Cem and New Hope Cem, which often serve as the remaining markers of earlier community centers. Small water bodies like Caldwell Lake Number 1 and Caldwell Lake Number 2 suggest the importance of local water management in this agricultural region. The map also traces the paths of several hollows, such as Blackburn Hollow and Snake Hollow, illustrating the subtle yet distinct topographical shifts that characterize this part of Hamilton County.
