About this map

Duffau Creek and its various tributaries, including Little Duffau Creek and Richardson Creek, carve through this section of Erath County. Small rural centers like Johnsville and Selden anchor a landscape defined by ranching and small-scale agriculture during the early 1960s. The map reveals the placement of several family and community landmarks essential for genealogists, such as Aycock Cem and Hatchett Cem, alongside local congregations at Mitchell Creek Ch and Pony Creek Ch.

Surface geology and local industry are marked by numerous Borrow Pits scattered across the terrain, particularly near the road networks. Distinctive elevations such as Lone Mountain and Bunker Hill provide topographical contrast to the creek valleys, while the VABM Stephenville South Base serves as a critical geodetic marker for the region. The presence of Cross Lake and Sycamore Creek further illustrates the drainage patterns flowing toward the Brazos River system.
