2019 Map of Arah

About this map

The county line between Borden and Scurry counties bisects this High Plains landscape, where the terrain transitions from flat mesas into the breaks carved by local waterways. Drainage patterns are dominated by the intermittent flow of Gavett Creek, Mooar Creek, and Deep Creek, which have sculpted the land into a series of draws and ridges. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies small, significant sites of early settlement and burial, most notably York Cemetery in the southern portion and Fluvanna Cemetery near the northern boundary. The road network, including FM 1269 and numerous designated county roads like Hughes Road, follows the section lines of this agricultural and ranching region, anchored by landmarks such as Hathaway Hill and the small catchment of Holmes Lake.
