2022 Map of Huckabay SW

About this map

Smith Gap and the Blue Hills define the upland terrain of this Erath County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the Texas Cross Timbers. The area is characterized by a high density of small, family-named watercourses such as Red Fork Rush Cr and W Fork Armstrong Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Co RD 397. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Old School Hill Cem, Lower School Hill Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Dripping Spring and the Jameson Peaks, reflect a long-established rural community structure. The lower portion of the sheet shows the transition into more modern infrastructure with Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and the path of W FM 8 near Lowell Cem.
