About this map

The border of Young Co and Jack Co bisects this cattle-ranching landscape in North Texas. The small community of Jermyn anchors the southern reaches, where local streets like Baptist Ave and Loving Ave cluster near the Graceland Cem. To the north, the settlement of Markley sits at the junction of FM 1769 and Markley Rd, surrounded by a network of ranch roads including Stewart Ranch Rd and Low Ranch Rd.

Elevated terrain defines the horizon, specifically the prominent Rattlesnake Mtn and Bare Mtn in the northwest, and Spie Knob to the southeast. These highlands shed water into several drainage systems, most notably Plum Cr and Cameron Cr. The map details a transition from the rolling uplands down into these creek valleys, reflecting the traditional spatial organization of Texas homesteads and pastures.
