About this map

Gay Hill and Scofield anchor this agricultural landscape in Washington County, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Yegua Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains its rural character through established family landmarks and burial sites, including Oak Rest Cem, Wallace Cem, and Frieden Cem. These small cemeteries are scattered across the rolling hills, often located near private ranches and local access roads like Wauls Legion Rd.

A network of private water bodies, such as Baker Lake, Johnson Lake, and McCormick Lake, dots the drainage basins of Cataract Creek and Thomas Creek. The inclusion of Rancho Verde Airport indicates the modern utility of these large landholdings. This 2016 survey provides a detailed view of contemporary land use in a region that continues to balance traditional cattle ranching and farming with small-scale residential developments along routes like FM 390 and FM 1361.
