2016 Map of Brushy Mound

About this map

Brushy Mound and Dead Ox Mound rise above the rolling landscape of the Clay and Montague County line, anchoring a region defined by its water management and rural cemeteries. The mid-2010s landscape is characterized by a series of engineered water bodies, including Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir, Site 5a Reservoir, and Site 5b Reservoir, which collect runoff for local conservation. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds like McDonald Cem and Prairie Branch Cem, which sit among a network of descriptive local routes such as Old Oil Field Rd and Bugscuffle Rd. The terrain is drained by several seasonal waterways, including W Belknap Cr and Prairie Br, flowing through the pastureland typical of this North Texas border region.
