About this map

Murray sits at the junction of FM 209 and FM 578, serving as the central hub for this rural Young County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal waterways, including the winding Fish Cr and its northern tributary, N Fork Fish Cr. These creeks, along with E Kings Cr and Huffstuttle Cr, create a complex drainage pattern that has historically shaped the placement of local ranch roads and land boundaries.

Elevated landmarks like Matthews Hill and the broad expanse of Coffee Flat provide distinct topographical breaks in a region characterized by ranching and agriculture. The road network, featuring numerous family-named routes such as Fisher Ranch Rd and Kramer Rd, reflects the established landownership patterns of the early 21st century. This survey documents the intersection of rural infrastructure and natural hydrology, from the banks of Meyers Br to the open flats near the southern boundary.
