About this map

Medicine Mounds rise distinctly from the rolling landscape of Hardeman County, anchoring a region defined by scattered agricultural settlements and narrow creek beds. This modern topographic survey details the area around the village of Medicine Mound and the northern outskirts of Chillicothe, where a network of rural routes like FM 91 and FM 1167 connect long-established farmsteads. The terrain is marked by notable geological formations including Cedar Mound, Third Mound, and Little Mound, which stand as landmarks above the winding course of Wanderers Cr.

For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including Old Mounds Cem and Oswalt Cem. The settlement at Big Valley, accompanied by its namesake Big Valley Cem, illustrates the persistent footprint of small farming communities in this corner of North Texas. The layout of roads such as Hog Farm Rd and Gravel Pit Rd further reflects the area's rural character and land-use patterns.
