About this map

Stoneham and Whitehall anchor this rural section of Grimes County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Beason Cr and Hurricane Cr. The map reveals a high density of small community burial grounds, which serve as essential landmarks for genealogical research, including Stoneham Cem, Yarboro Cem, and Simmons Chapel Cem. These sites, often situated near minor local roads, indicate the historical settlement patterns of families in the area.

The water geography is equally detailed, featuring small reservoirs like Koehl Lake and Ward-Haworth Lake, alongside larger bodies such as Lake Winona in the south. The drainage network formed by Elm Grove Cr and Kickapoo Cr suggests a terrain shaped by persistent seasonal flows, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connecting routes between Yarboro and surrounding rural districts.
