About this map

The Squaw Creek Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its indented shoreline creating a complex system of coves and branches such as Million Branch and Contrary Creek. Created to support local infrastructure, the reservoir is contained by the Squaw Creek Dam and includes the specialized Safe Shutdown Impoundment Dam. To the west, the settlement of Hill City sits at the junction of Harkins Ct and Hill City Hwy, while the Paluxy River winds through the southern reaches near Cedar Brake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks including the Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Powell Cemetery Rd and the Post Oak Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions like Opossum Hollow and Wildcat Hollow, which drain toward the river system. Transportation and commerce are represented by rural routes like the Mambrino Hwy leading toward Neri and the private Running M Ranch Airport near Prairie Creek.
