2011 Map of Lynn Creek

About this map

Lynn Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define the cattle and oil country of central Jack County. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Squaw Mountain in the north and Round Mountain in the southeast, providing a rugged backdrop for local ranching and energy extraction. The map documents the spatial relationship between legacy land use and industrial activity, specifically noting the Ellis Oil Field and McDonald Oil Field. For those researching local family history, the presence of the Roberts Branch Cemetery and Round Mountain Cemetery provides critical geographic anchors for early settlers in this part of Texas. An intricate web of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including China Ridge Rd and FM 1191, connects isolated homesteads and follows the natural drainage patterns of waterways like Cameron Creek and the Roberts Prairie Branch.
