2016 Map of Purdy Hill

About this map

The town of Mason anchors the southwestern corner of this Hill Country landscape, where the street grid gives way to a sprawling network of ranch roads and rugged drainages. The topography is dominated by the Mason Mountains and Purdy Hill, with the terrain dissected by numerous watercourses including Katemcy Cr, Little Willow Cr, and Comanche Cr. This 2016 survey is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies several small family or community burial sites scattered across the ranchlands, such as Behrens Cem, Jones Cem, Polk Cem, and Ellison Cem. The map also documents the modern ranching infrastructure of the region, notably the Polk Ranch Airport and the complex system of secondary routes like Ranch Rd 386 and Old Pontotoc Rd that connect isolated homesteads to the county seat.
