About this map

The W Fork Trinity River winds through this North Texas landscape at the intersection of Young, Archer, Jack, and Clay counties. This 2016 survey highlights the rugged topography of the area, defined by prominent elevations such as Gap Mtn and Spy Knob. The drainage pattern is dense with numerous tributaries feeding the river system, including Darnell Branch, Brushy Cr, and Dead Horse Cr.

Rural infrastructure is primarily composed of a network of ranch and county roads, such as M X Ranch Rd and Prideaux Rd, which navigate the varying elevations. In the northeast, the Antelope Field Lake sits near the Clay County line, reflecting the importance of water management in this cattle and oil-producing region. The map preserves a clear picture of modern land use where large ranch holdings meet the winding creek bottoms of Waters Br and Plum Cr.
