About this map

Arah and the surrounding ranchlands of West Texas are detailed in this 21st-century survey of the border between Borden Co and Scurry Co. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Gavett Cr, Deep Cr, and Red Mud Cr, which carve through the terrain near landmarks like Hathaway Hill. This area is sparsely settled, with the small community of Arah located in the southeastern portion of the map, served by FM 1269.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as York Cem and Fluvanna Cem, the latter positioned near the northern boundary. The rural road network, including Hughes Rd and Toombs Rd, connects remote agricultural properties and local water features like Holmes Lake. The presence of numerous petroleum-related points, such as P-4216, reflects the region's long-standing connection to the West Texas oil industry.
