About this map

York Cem and the small settlement of Arah anchor this rural West Texas landscape during the early 2010s. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage network, with Gavett Cr and Mooar Cr carving paths through the plains toward the southeast. The elevation is relatively uniform, save for the prominent rise of Hathaway Hill in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local land use is visible through an extensive grid of section roads and private tracks, including Toombs Rd and Hughes Rd, which support the region's agricultural and energy operations. Water features like Holmes Lake provide essential catchments in this semi-arid environment. This survey captures a moment of modern rural life in Scurry County, where established landmarks like Deep Cr persist alongside a growing network of service roads and ranching infrastructure.
