About this map

Sylvester serves as the primary settlement within this rural West Texas landscape, situated in the northwestern corner where FM-57 and Co RD-825 intersect. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal and perennial waterways that move across the ranching country of Jones County. The Clear Fork of the Brazos River meanders through the center of the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries including China Cr, E China Cr, and Dry Cr.

A sparse grid of county roads, such as Cord-158 and Cord-160, provides access to the interior rangelands, reflecting a long-standing land use pattern of large-scale ranching and agriculture. In the southeast, Raven Cr gives its name to the area, winding through a landscape characterized by low relief and expansive horizons. The inclusion of a dedicated Ranch Rd further underscores the pastoral economy that has shaped this portion of the Texas Rolling Plains.
