About this map

Jolly sits at the northern edge of this North Texas landscape, where ranching heritage meets the water management systems of Clay County. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Arrowhead, held by the Wichita Falls Dam. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Wichita River and its tributaries, including Duck Creek and Bennett Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find the White Hill Cemetery south of the town center, along with numerous smaller reservoirs that speak to the area's agricultural past. Named water bodies like the Triangle T Cattle Company Lake and Halsell Lake illustrate how the land was partitioned for livestock. Infrastructure like State Spur 47 and a network of rural routes, such as S Williams Rd and Dale Ranch Rd, connect the scattered settlements and dam sites across this rolling prairie.
