About this map

Blackwell Lake serves as a central landmark in this DeWitt County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial drainage systems. The map captures an area dominated by ranching and rural land use, reflected in the numerous family-named roads such as Smith Ranch Rd and Dubose Ranch Rd. These routes connect isolated holdings across the undulating territory between Mustang Mott and the southern reaches of Shiloh Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the identification of Woods Cem, situated along Woods Cemetery Rd in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The intricate drainage pattern, featuring Woods Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Blackjack Cr, illustrates the hydrological character of the region before further modern development. The presence of numerous designated county roads suggests a long-established network of rural property boundaries and transit corridors.
