About this map

Morgan Mill serves as the primary settlement hub on this 2016 survey, situated where Highway 281 meets the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial watercourses that drain the rolling terrain of Erath County, including the N Paluxy River and its various tributaries. To the north, the small community of Patillo sits near the upper margin, connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes that traverse the rural landscape.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of the Hightower Cemetery, positioned on the eastern side of the map near Nail Cr. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, from Counts Cr and Germany Cr in the south to Clear Cr and Bee Dee Cr further north. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of this Texas region, showing the persistent placement of ranch roads and homesteads across the drainage basins.
