About this map

The town of Malone and the surrounding Hill County countryside are defined by a network of seasonal waterways and modern water management. Small cemeteries like Salem Cem, Watting Cem, and Burross Cem are scattered across the landscape, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Texas. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous farm-to-market roads and local routes, such as W Live Oak, which connects the primary settlements.

Strategic water conservation is a prominent feature of the local geography, seen in the numerous reservoirs managed by the Soil Conservation Service, including Soil Conservation Service Site 80 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 88 Reservoir. These sites, along with Kempshafer Lake and the various branches of Ash Creek, illustrate the local focus on irrigation and land management in a region where Bynum Creek and Pecan Creek shape the drainage patterns of the rural acreage.
