About this map

The Colorado River meanders across this landscape, defining the boundary between Bastrop and Fayette Counties in central Texas. Settlement patterns follow the river’s course and the winding path of State Route 71, connecting the communities of Smithville, Kirtley, and Lena. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of watercourses, including Pin Oak Creek, Bartons Cr, and Robinson Cr, which have shaped the local topography and historical property lines.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered across the area. From Woods Prairie Cem and Old Plum Grove Cem in the north to Byler Cem and Brown Hale Cem in the south, these sites provide a spatial record of early rural life. The presence of Mount Olive Cem further emphasizes the established nature of these small settlements before the modern expansion of transit corridors like E State Loop 543.
