About this map

Union Center and the small crossroads of Branton anchor this rural landscape in Eastland County during the early 2010s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sabana River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Long Br, Yellow Br, and Elm Cr. These waterways create a complex drainage pattern across the central Texas countryside, influencing the placement of early settlements like Romney in the north and Okra in the southeast.

Evidence of the local ranching and energy economy is scattered throughout the grid of county roads. A prominent Oil Gas Lease Rd in the south points to the area's subterranean resources, while Mountain Top provides a rare point of elevation near the center of the sheet. For those researching local roots, the Elm Cem near the southern boundary and the small community of Union Center serve as primary points of interest in this sparsely populated region.
