About this map

Stoneham and the surrounding Grimes County landscape are defined by a network of small family cemeteries and seasonal creeks that have shaped this rural Texas community for generations. The map reveals the distribution of early settlements at Yarboro and Whitehall, where the land is carved by drainages like Kickapoo Cr and Beason Cr. These waterways, including Hurricane Cr and Sand Cr, feed into numerous small impoundments such as Yarboro Lake and Koehl Lake, illustrating the local reliance on managed water resources for agriculture and ranching.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Simmons Chapel Cem and Childre Cem, which reflect the area's pioneer heritage. Transportation routes like Highway 105 and FM 1748 RD connect these scattered homesteads and landmarks. The terrain transitions from the riparian corridors of Elm Grove Cr to the slightly higher elevations near Lake Winona, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
