About this map

The rugged ranch lands of northern Texas are meticulously detailed in this survey of the Long Hollow region. Defined by its deeply incised drainage systems, the landscape is dominated by the forks of Salt Creek, including West Salt Creek and East Salt Creek, which carve through the high ground. Notable elevations like Deck Mountain and Woolly provide significant landmarks for navigation across the brushy terrain.

Evidence of the region's oil economy is scattered throughout, with numerous Oil Wells peppered across the valleys and ridges. For the genealogist and local historian, several remote burial sites are preserved here, including the Long Hollow Cem, Wood Cem, and the Halsell Ranch Cem located near Dry Branch. These small family and community cemeteries, along with the crossing of the Jack Co Palo Pinto Co line, offer a precise look at the land ownership and settlement patterns of the late 1960s.
