About this map

The rolling ranchlands along the Clay County and Montague County line are defined by a network of seasonal creeks and watershed management projects. Dead Ox Mound and Brushy Mound rise as prominent landmarks above the drainages of W Belknap Creek and Middle Belknap Creek. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern agricultural landscape, where several reservoirs like Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Reservoir have been established to manage runoff across the Prairie Branch and Trail Creek systems.

Local history is anchored by family and community burial grounds, including McDonald Cemetery near the northern boundary and the Prairie Branch Cemetery to the south. The road network, including the diagonal path of Highway 287 North, connects remote homesteads and ranch gates, while several named routes like Gilmore Stone Road and Jerry Walker Road reflect the generational landownership of this North Texas border region.
