2010 Map of Arah

About this map

York Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark in this rural Scurry County landscape, positioned between the drainages of Gavett Creek and Red Mud Creek. The small community of Arah anchors the southeast, where FM 1269 serves as a primary artery through the rolling terrain. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrology and ranch roads, where intermittent watercourses like Mooar Creek and Deep Creek carve through the earth toward larger basins. To the south, Holmes Lake and the associated Holmes Lake Dam provide a rare permanent water feature in an otherwise arid environment. Notable elevations such as Hathaway Hill punctuate the horizon, offering a clear view of the sprawling network of county roads including Toombs Rd and Hughes Rd that connect the isolated homesteads and grazing lands of West Texas.
