About this map

Chillicothe occupies the northeastern corner of this Hardeman County landscape, where the grid of city streets like Ave H and S 11th St transitions into the wide agricultural expanses of North Texas. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises known collectively as the Medicine Mounds, including individual landmarks such as Cedar Mound, Third Mound, Little Mound, and the singular Medicine Mound. These elevations provided significant vantage points over the surrounding plains long before the current road network was established.

Water drainage is primarily handled by the winding course of Wanderers Cr, which meanders across the northern half of the map. Further south, the rural character of the area is anchored by the Big Valley region. Local history is preserved at the Big Valley Cem, situated along Big Valley Rd near the intersection with Meharg Rd. The map reveals a highly structured rural landscape tied together by numerous Farm to Market roads, including FM 91, FM 392, and FM 1167.
