About this map

Malone and Bynum serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural landscape in Hill County, where the topography is defined by the drainage systems of Bynum Creek and Ash Creek. The 1950s infrastructure revealed here includes a network of levees along the southern watercourses, likely constructed for flood control to protect the surrounding farmland.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of interest, including St Peters Ch and the Salem Sch, which stands near the Salem Cem. The presence of Caliche Pits in the western portion of the quadrangle suggests the localized extraction of road-building materials during this era. Other family-named sites such as Walling Cem and Burross Cem are tucked among the fields, providing a record of early settlement patterns before the expansion of modern industrial farming.
