About this map

Gilkerson Cem sits in the lower-left quadrant of this landscape, a small landmark of family history on the border of North Texas ranch lands. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of several drainage systems, including Brushy Cr and Bob Cr, which cross the boundary between King and Stonewall counties. Unlike more developed regions, this area remains characterized by isolated water features such as Matthew Hooks Reservoir and Brushy Tank, suggesting a landscape primarily shaped by cattle ranching and water management.

Transportation is limited to a sparse network of county roads and private tracks like Niblo Ranch Rd. The presence of named water bodies such as Springer Lake and Pen Br indicates the vital importance of seasonal water sources in this stretch of the Texas plains. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns at the southern edge of King County before the more rugged breaks of the Brazos River watershed.
