2010 Map of Gay Hill

About this map

Yegua Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Davidson Creek, define this rural Washington County landscape. The map captures a primarily agricultural region interspersed with specialized industry, most notably at the Clay Creek Oil Field and the Dallas Oil Field. These energy sites, along with the Gay Hill Farm Airport, indicate the modern economic layers of a traditionally pastoral area. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Wallace Cemetery, Oak Rest Cemetery, and Frieden Cemetery. The settlement patterns around Gay Hill and Prairie Hill are shown alongside an extensive network of named local roads like Old Gay Hill Rd and Mound Hill Rd, which serve as a guide to family land holdings and historical residences in the early 21st century.
