2012 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington and Rio Vista anchor this portion of the North Texas plains, where a web of county roads connects long-standing rural communities. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Aquilla Cr and Mustang Cr systems, including Gourd Neck Br and Darr Br. Small, local airfields like Cow Pasture Airport and Birdnest Airport dot the countryside, reflecting the region's agricultural aviation and light aircraft culture. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered burial grounds that mark early family settlements, such as Hart Cem, Parker Cem, Kinard Cem, and Ross Cem. The presence of smaller junctions like Derden and Woodrow highlights the persistent, decentralized settlement pattern of Hill and Johnson counties in the early twenty-first century, anchored by physical landmarks like the prominent Brushy Knob.
