About this map

Gay Hill sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the rural road network branches out into the surrounding ranchlands and creek bottoms. The area is defined by its deep connection to the land, featuring multiple small family or community burial grounds such as Frieden Cem, Oak Rest Cem, and Wallace Cem. These sites, tucked away from the main thoroughfares like FM 390, provide essential clues for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Washington County.

Industrial activity in the early 21st century is marked by the presence of the Clay Creek Oil Field and the Dallas Oil Field, indicating the region's continued reliance on natural resource extraction. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways, including Yegua Cr and Thompson Cr, which feed into local bodies of water like Butler Lake and Baker Lake. This survey also records the small settlement of Scofield and the Rancho Verde Airport, illustrating a sparsely populated but active rural economy.
