About this map

Pinkerton Cem and Rule Cem stand as quiet sentinels in this rural Haskell County landscape, offering vital anchor points for genealogical research in north-central Texas. The terrain is defined by the winding drainage of Mule Creek and North Mule Creek, which converge as they flow toward the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. These seasonal watercourses, along with Rice Springs Branch, dictate the positioning of local county roads that grid the agricultural fields.

Agricultural land use dominates the area, reaching the western outskirts of Haskell near North 1st Street. A network of farm-to-market and ranch roads, including FM 2407 and Ranch Road 2163, provides the primary infrastructure connecting the scattered farmsteads. To the south, Bitter Lake forms a distinctive natural catchment within the drainage basin of the creeks, marking a significant hydrological feature in this otherwise semi-arid ranching and farming corridor.
