Just north of the town center lie Saint Michaels Cem and Big Wells Cem, providing important points of reference for local genealogy. The surrounding terrain is defined by its water management, featuring names like Martindale Tank and the storage reservoirs of the Bowmen Cattle Company Lake Number 1 and Bowmen Cattle Company Lake Number 2.
