About this map

The North Paluxy River and South Paluxy River converge in this part of Erath County, creating a landscape defined by seasonal creek beds and modern water management. The area is marked by numerous conservation projects, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Dam, which reflect the region's agricultural history and efforts to control runoff into the North Fork North Bosque River drainage system.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the quadrangle. From Morton Chapel Cemetery in the north to Knob Hill Cemetery and Smith Springs Cemetery in the south, these sites anchor the map's historical narrative. The settlement of Knob Hill serves as a local landmark near the southern boundary, situated among a network of rural routes like Pilot Knob Rd and Upper Smith Springs Rd.
