About this map

Wilkerson Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Anderson County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family-named cemeteries. The 1980s terrain shows a pattern of dispersed community life at Montalba and Elmwood, while the Plentitude (Site) suggests a location where earlier structures once stood. Industry is represented by an active Oil Field and scattered drill holes, indicating the region's energy development alongside traditional land use.

Waterways like Beaver Creek and Prairie Mound Creek drain the undulating hills, which also feature Quick Mountain and Pine Mountain. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for identifying small burial grounds such as Morrow Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Paces Chapel Cem Substa. Infrastructure like the Lookout Tower and various pipelines reflect the modern management of this rural Texas landscape.
