About this map

The small settlement of Hylton anchors this West Texas landscape, where the headwaters of several creek systems descend from a prominent plateau known as The Divide. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with the N Fork Valley Cr and S Fork Valley Cr cutting through the topography toward the south. A network of soil conservation reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir, illustrates the modern focus on water management in this arid region.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of the Hylton Cem and Campbell Cem along with the private landing strip at Flying W Airport. Local transport is facilitated by a grid of county roads and the distinctly named Turkey Track road, which traverses the area alongside Fish Cr. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the Nolan Co Taylor Co line, separating these two central Texas counties.
