2013 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

Cedar Mtn anchors the eastern landscape of this Knox County territory, where traditional ranching operations define the local geography. Large holdings such as Driver Ranch, Williams Ranch, and Lyles Ranch are connected by a network of rural roads including Lyles Ranch Rd and Co Rd 1115. The area's water management is evident through numerous named catchments like Coppermine Tank, Horseshoe Tank, and Lyles Brothers Lake, which support livestock across the drainage basins of Smelter Cr and Little Croton Cr. Significant landmarks for land navigation and heritage research include the Croton Windmill and the curiously named Little Dick Windmill. The presence of Moorehouse Brothers Ranch Lake and the McFaddin Ranch further illustrates the established family-based ranching economy that has persisted in this portion of North Texas into the early 21st century.
