About this map

The rolling plains along the border of Clay and Montague counties are defined by a complex network of seasonal creek branches and soil conservation infrastructure. Distinctive topographical features like Brushy Mound and Dead Ox Mound rise above the drainage basins of W Belknap Cr and Middle Belknap Cr. This landscape is marked by the systematic management of water through multiple reservoirs, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir, which dot the local ranching country.

Local family history is centered on isolated burial grounds like McDonald Cem, Prairie Branch Cem, and Brier Creek Cem. These small cemeteries are linked by a web of local routes such as Old Vashti Rd and Bugscuffle Rd, which reflect the area's rural development patterns. The map also shows the path of FM 174 cutting through the western portion, providing essential transport across this agricultural terrain.
