About this map

The Hatchett Oil Field and a series of rural family-named burial sites define this Jones County landscape in the early 2010s. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of county roads and numerous private drives branching off US Highway 277 S, reflecting the region's agricultural and energy-production layout. Water sources are scarce, with drainage provided by the seasonal channels of Harmony Cr in the north and Cottonwood Cr in the northeast. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of Mt Hope Cem, Bethel Cem, and Central Cem across the quadrangle provides specific coordinates for ancestral research in this part of West Texas. The abundance of private access roads, such as Private Road 3581 and Private Road 334, suggests a high degree of property subdivision and industrial access tied to the local oil interests.
