About this map

Petty serves as the primary focal point of this rural North Texas landscape, situated along a prominent rail line that bisects the northern half of the territory. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including the branching paths of Rowdy Creek and Noble Creek, which drain the agricultural land between small unincorporated communities. These minor settlements, such as White Rock, Noble, and Harmon, are linked by an intricate grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 137.

Genealogical interest is centered on the McGalasson Cemetery in the eastern portion of the map, while local hydrology is marked by features like Grogens Lake Dam and the winding course of Threemile Creek. The map documents a classic Texas prairie layout where small-scale farming and livestock operations are supported by numerous unnamed ponds and the many tributaries, such as Snow Creek and Wafer Creek, that feed into the larger regional basins.
