About this map

Ivan anchors the northern reaches of this north-central Texas landscape, situated at the junction of FM 717 and Co RD 181. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Devils Reservation Mountain, Coon Mountain, and Lime Rock Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses. The hydrology of the area is managed through significant engineering such as the Stephens Company Water Company Lake Dam and the Monroe Veal Dam, indicating the region's reliance on water infrastructure for local industry and agriculture.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Bee Branch Cemetery centrally located along FM 3253, serving as a silent record of the families who settled this area of Stephens County. The map details the drainage patterns of Cedar Creek, Bee Branch, and Norton Branch, which cut through the landscape between the varying peaks like C J Mountain. This record preserves the road network and land features before modern development altered the rural character of the region.
