2010 Map of Brushy Mound

About this map

Brushy Mound and Dead Ox Mound rise above this rural landscape in Montague County, where the economy centers on ranching and energy extraction. The surface is characterized by numerous small-scale water management projects, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir and several other containment structures like the Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Dam. These reservoirs are fed by a network of seasonal waterways such as West Belknap Creek and East Prairie Branch. Petroleum production is evident through the Anson Oil Field and Boedeker Oil Field, which are integrated into the grid of local ranch roads. Genealogists can find important family records at the McDonald Cemetery, Brier Creek Cemetery, and Prairie Branch Cemetery, which reflect the area's established rural communities. Transportation is facilitated by local routes like the Old Wichita Falls Hwy and more curiously named paths such as Bugscoffle Rd.
