About this map

Brushy Cr and Millers Cr drain this Haskell County landscape, defining the local topography as they wind through the ranchlands. In the northeast corner, the Brushy Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical research, situated near the H C (Pick) Yandell property. The region is characterized by a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of North Texas at the decade's end, with a grid of county and farm-to-market roads facilitating movement across the terrain. Key transportation corridors like Fm 1720 and Ranch Rd 266 intersect the area, connecting isolated livestock operations and farmsteads. Smaller hydrological features, including Wild Horse Cr and Elm Cr Tank, provide essential water sources for the cattle ranching that persists as the primary local industry.
