About this map

The northwest corner of Hamlin anchors this landscape in Jones County, where the grid-planned streets of the town meet the more irregular patterns of Texas ranching country. The California Creek and its associated water bodies, including Moore Lake and West Lake, dominate the southern reach, illustrating the importance of water management in this region through features like the Moores West Lake Dam.

Further north, the terrain is defined by the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River and its tributaries, such as Hitson Creek and Oleys Creek. Small settlements and points of interest for local historians include Hitson and the more remote Pardue Camp. For genealogists, the placement of North Cemetery and Afton Cemetery provides exact locations for regional family research. The map also documents the network of Farm to Market roads like FM 540 and various county roads that link these isolated rural landmarks together.
