About this map

Aquilla Lake dominates this portion of Hill County, its expansive waters contained by the Aquilla Dam at the southern edge. The landscape is a network of rural routes and small settlements that reflect the agricultural history of the region. The community of Peoria sits at the intersection of several county roads, while Vaughan is located further south, adjacent to the Vaughan Cemetery. The eastern edges of the map transition into the outskirts of Hillsboro and the small siding of Winslow.

Family history is preserved in localized landmarks such as Hickey Cemetery and the larger Hillcrest Garden of Memory Cemetery. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, including Hackberry Creek and Rocky Branch, which flow toward the lake. These watercourses and the surrounding road network, including Patton Mill Rd, trace the established patterns of land use and transit in this part of north-central Texas.
