About this map

The Branyon Oil Field and Tenney Creek Oil Field define the industrial character of this central Texas landscape, where small crossroads communities are linked by farm-to-market roads and historic trails. Rural life is anchored by family and community heritage, evidenced by several burial grounds including Clark Chapel Cemetery and Dickerson Cemetery. The hydrology is dominated by the meandering course of Plum Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Linscombe Creek and Daniels Creek.

Modern land management is visible through the series of reservoirs and dams, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 27 Reservoir, indicating the mid-century push for flood control and soil stabilization. Small settlements like McMahan, Tilmon, and Seawillow serve as local hubs, while historical routes like the Old McMahan Trl hint at earlier transit patterns across the undulating terrain leading toward Round Mountain.
