About this map

Marak Catholic and Methodius Cemetery and the adjacent Saints Cyril and Methodius Cemetery anchor the community of Marak, reflecting the cultural heritage of this rural Milam County landscape. The topography is defined by the dendritic drainage of Big Elm Creek and its many tributaries, including South Elm Creek, Cow Creek, and McFall Branch. These waterways carve through the agricultural tablelands between the small settlements of Yarrelton and North Elm.

Transportation in the early 21st century follows a grid of farm-to-market roads like FM 485 and FM 1915, connecting isolated farmsteads and landing strips such as Glaser Field. To the southwest, the outskirts of Buckholts appear along a network of county roads. The map's detailed hydrography, from Lipan Creek to the curiously named Dry Hollow, provides a clear view of the watershed patterns that have dictated local land use for generations.
