About this map

Brushy Mound and Dead Ox Mound rise above the agricultural plains of Montague County, serving as the primary landmarks in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including W Belknap Cr and Brier Cr, which are supported by several engineered water projects like the Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Reservoir. These features reflect the region's managed approach to water conservation in a livestock-heavy economy.

Energy extraction remains a central part of the local industry, highlighted by the Anson Oil Field and Boedeker Oil Field. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including McDonald Cem, Brier Creek Cem, and Prairie Branch Cem. The small settlement of Timber Oaks and the diagonal corridor of the Old Wichita Falls Hwy provide focal points for understanding the modern distribution of residents and transportation in this part of North Texas.
