About this map

The Brady Mountains rise along the northern edge of this McCulloch County landscape, overlooking a series of water management projects and drainage basins. The small town of Melvin serves as the central hub, defined by a grid of residential streets including Live Oak St and Hackberry St. Genealogical researchers will find the City of Melvin Cem and Melvin Cem nearby, providing primary locations for family history work in the region.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Brady Creek and S Brady Cr cutting through the terrain alongside several engineered features like Reservoir Number Thirtynine and the Soil Conservation Service Site 40 Reservoir. To the east, the settlement of Whiteland marks a quiet crossing where Cow Cr and E Cow Cr meet, illustrating the late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure of this part of West Texas.
