2010 Map of Mattson

About this map

Mattson anchors the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding drainages of the Brazos River watershed. The terrain is defined by the dendritic patterns of several waterways, including Millers Creek, Brushy Creek, and Lake Creek, which carve through the plains. Rural life in Haskell County is represented by the remote West Camp and the centrally located Brushy Cemetery, a critical site for local genealogical research. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is evident in the network of farm-to-market and county roads like FM 1720 and Ranch RD 266. Water management is a visible priority for the local ranching economy, highlighted by the presence of the Elm Creek Tank Dam and its associated Elm Creek Tank in the southeast.
