About this map

Maypearl anchors the eastern edge of this Ellis County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the complex drainage networks of the Chambers Creek system. The town's grid sits just north of the North Fork Chambers Creek, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small rural settlements and family-linked landmarks like the Lazy R Stock Farm Airport. This era is defined by significant water management infrastructure, evidenced by numerous dams such as the Buck Ranch Dam Number 4 and various Soil Conservation Service sites that regulate the seasonal flow of Island Creek and Coffee Branch.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Ozro Cemetery, Jackson Cemetery, and Auburn Cemetery. These sites, along with the cluster at Auburn and the northern outpost of Griffith, reveal the persistent footprint of 19th-century pioneer communities that survived into the modern era through agricultural continuity and a network of county roads like Wiggins Rd and FM 916.
