About this map

Small rural communities and family landmarks define this Parker County landscape as it transitioned into the late 1950s. The settlement of Garner sits near the western edge, while scattered outposts like Author, Lemley, Preble, and Fox represent the area's agricultural and social hubs. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial grounds and places of worship, including Fondren Cem, Author Cem, and Newberry Ch.

A complex drainage system of seasonal creeks, such as Grindstone Creek and Dry Creek, crisscrosses the terrain, often flanked by numerous small stock tanks and landing fields. The northwestern corner is bounded by the Camp Wolters Military Reservation Bdy, marking a significant federal presence in the region. Evidence of the local energy and resource economy is visible through several Gravel Pits and a Pipeline cutting across the southern half of the quadrangle.
