About this map

The small communities of Burkett and Grosvenor anchor this West Texas landscape, where the terrain shifts from the low elevations of Bowden Hollow to the localized peaks of the Holloway Mountains and Barefoot Mountains. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by numerous man-made features like the Burkett City Dam and multiple conservation efforts such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial grounds, including Smith Cemetery and Panther Creek Cemetery, while physical landmarks like Red Knob and McReynolds Spring provide fixed points for historical land study. The drainage network is dense with named tributaries like Pecan Bayou, Deadman Branch, and Gobbler Branch, tracing the natural movement of water across this rural ranching and farming territory.
