About this map

Hylton anchors this modern topographic perspective of the West Texas landscape, situated along F.M. 1170 at the southern edge of the survey. The terrain is defined by the intricate drainages of S Fork Valley Cr and N Fork Valley Cr, which feed into several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs including Site 4a and Site 6. These engineered water features reflect the importance of water management in this arid region, where ranching and agricultural life depend on reliable catchment.

Local history and genealogy are marked by the presence of Hylton Cem and Campbell Cem, providing specific locations for family researchers. The landscape transitions from the high ground of The Divide in the northwest down through prominent topographical features like Magness Draw and Wolf Draw. The boundary between Nolan and Taylor Counties runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, while the Flying W Airport highlights the continued role of private aviation in navigating this rural expanse.
