About this map

Black Hills rises above the rural landscape west of Corsicana, anchoring a region defined by extensive water management and small agricultural settlements. In this 2016 snapshot, the territory is heavily marked by Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 135b Reservoir and Site 143a Reservoir, which manage the drainage of Briar Creek and Cedar Creek. These artificial water bodies dominate the landscape around communities like Drane and Corbet.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved across the quadrangle, including the Black Hills Cemetery, Cunningham Cemetery, and Marshall Cemetery. A curious modern landmark, the Anxiety Aerodrome, sits south of the growing neighborhood of Oak Valley, while Resthaven Memorial Park serves the western outskirts of the county seat. The map reflects a modern Texas landscape where traditional ranching and farming lands are increasingly intersected by updated county road networks and systematic flood control projects.
