About this map

Mankins Mill and the small community of Eolian serve as central points in this Stephens County landscape, where the agricultural tradition of north-central Texas meets the region's energy history. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Plum Branch, Brushy Creek, and Battle Creek, which feed into the larger Hubbard Creek Reservoir to the north.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Plum Branch Cemetery, Shady Grove Cemetery, and Battle Creek Cemetery, which mark the settlement patterns of the area. Industrial activity is recorded through the Ibex Oil Field and O'Neal Oil Field, illustrating the economic reliance on petroleum alongside established ranching and farming tracts. Water management is evident in several locations, including De La Fosse Lake and Elliot Lake, which provide localized irrigation and stock water across the terrain.
