Hardeman Bend defines a dramatic loop in the Colorado River west of Smithville, illustrating the sinuous path this waterway takes through central Texas. The settlement of Alum Creek and the neighboring Kennedy Bluffs occupy the higher ground north of the river, where a network of rural roads like Co RD 154 and Co RD 174 connects disparate family farmsteads and small local landmarks. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Thompson Cem and Powell Cem useful for tracing area residents.
