About this map

The Millers Creek Reservoir dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape at the intersection of Baylor, Throckmorton, and Haskell counties. Revisions from 1979 illustrate the reservoir's extent along the valleys of Millers Creek and Wolf Creek, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding terrain marked by an extensive oil field and complex drainage systems. Several intermittent streams, including Mexican Creek, Lake Creek, and Rocky Creek, carve through the rolling country north of the water.

Transportation and historical infrastructure are anchored by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle near the Bomarton Cem. The map's layout reflects a transition from traditional ranching or agricultural use to industrial extraction, evidenced by the numerous wells and industrial markings of the pipeline and various pits. This survey captures the rural Texas landscape at a point of significant hydrological and industrial development.
