About this map

Anson serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, showing a grid of residential and commercial development at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of farm-to-market and county roads that navigate a series of winding waterways, including Skinout Creek, Thompson Creek, and Redmud Creek. Smaller outlying settlements like Plainview and Radium represent the rural community structure of Jones County in the early 21st century.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Anderson Chapel Cemetery in the southwest, while more modern infrastructure is evidenced by the Anson North Lake Dam and the nearby Anson North Lake. To the east, Steen Airport provides a clear point of interest for those tracking local aviation or land use changes. The map documents a predominantly agrarian environment where life and movement are dictated by the creek basins and the straight-line reliability of the Texas road system.
