About this map

Lake Arrowhead dominates the northern landscape of this Clay County region, where the shoreline meets a network of ranch and rural roads. The settlement of Deer Creek serves as a local focal point in the south, situated near the intersection of FM 1883 and several namesake routes. This area is defined by its water management and ranching infrastructure, featuring numerous smaller impoundments such as W I Howard Lake, Stephens Lake, and Berend Lake.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Deer Creek Cem located just west of the community, south of the winding course of Deer Creek. The terrain is drained by the Dry Fork Little Wichita River, which cuts across the central eastern portion of the map. Traces of local landownership and family history are evident in the naming of roads like Halsell Rd, Plemons Dr, and Dale Ranch Rd, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and ranching character of north-central Texas.
