About this map

The town of Olney occupies the northeastern corner of this Young County survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and petroleum country. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of California Creek, Mud Creek, and Rabbit Creek, which drain the rolling terrain south toward the Brazos River watershed. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Skid Mountain rises as a prominent landmark near the headwaters of Big Skid Creek.

Petroleum extraction remains a vital part of the local economy, anchored by the Larimore Oil Field in the southeast. A network of rural farm-to-market roads, including FM 210 and FM 3329, connects the scattered farmsteads and family-named routes like Herring Rd and Dunigan Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the Orth Cemetery, located in a quiet area west of Orth Rd, which preserves the history of early residents in this section of North Texas.
