About this map

The community of Medicine Mound and its namesake geological formations define this corner of Hardeman County. These prominent rises, including Cedar Mound, Third Mound, and Little Mound, stand as significant landmarks above the surrounding plains. The settlement of Chillicothe appears in the northeast, connected to the wider region by a network of roads that traverse the broad expanse of Big Valley.

Hydrological features like Wanderers Creek and Warrior Hollow cut through the landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns of this North Texas terrain. For those researching local history, the map identifies a small Cem and a Radio Tower, alongside various ranch roads and survey boundaries typical of the early 1980s. The arrangement of these features suggests a landscape shaped by both agriculture and the unique topography of the Medicine Mounds.
