About this map

Desdemona and the small settlement of Chaney anchor this survey of the Eastland County landscape, characterized by a complex network of ranch roads and water management features. The area is defined by its drainages, including Hog Creek, Salt Branch, and the Leon River, which feed into several named reservoirs such as Pack Lake and Arnold Lake. The presence of Perrin Dam and the Love and Rodgers Dam Number 1 indicates a landscape heavily modified for local water security and ranching needs.

Elevated landmarks like Mockingbird Hill and Rattlesnake Mountain provide topographical context to the north, while the Howard Cemetery offers a point of interest for those researching local family histories. The grid of roads, including Ranch Rd 571 and Tudor Rd, connects these scattered water sources and landforms, reflecting the rural agricultural character of this Texas region at the start of the 21st century.
