About this map

Knox City serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Knox County, characterized by a meticulous grid of rural roads and waterways. The northern border is defined by the winding course of the Brazos River, which is fed by various tributaries including China Br and Gyp Cr. The settlement pattern reflects the importance of aviation and regional transit, evidenced by both the Harrison Field of Knox City Airport and the Oliver Airport located near Union Grove.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Knox City Cem west of the main townsite, while the southern portion of the map shows the community of O'Brien situated along the rail line. The terrain is dotted with local landmarks like Van-Earl Tank, illustrating the water management necessary for this part of Texas. A dense network of county roads, such as Co Rd 190 and Co Rd 4225, connects the dispersed homesteads and farms that define the region's economy.
