About this map

Avoca and Lueders anchor this section of Jones County, illustrating the agricultural and water-dependent settlement patterns of West Texas. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage systems of numerous creeks, most notably Spring Creek, Flag Branch, and Cottonwood Creek, which all contribute to the larger watershed. In the southeast corner, the Clear Fork Brazos River cuts a prominent path, serving as a primary geographic landmark for the region.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered at Spring Creek Cemetery in the northwest, a site situated near the headwaters of its namesake creek. The map details an extensive network of county roads, such as FM 600 and FM 1597, which overlay the section lines and connect disparate farmsteads and ranchlands. The presence of Flatrock Creek and Mesquite Creek further highlights the local reliance on these seasonal and perennial waterways for land management in an arid environment.
