About this map

Sylvester sits at the northwestern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the Clear Fork Brazos River winds through the scrub and ranch land near the border of Fisher and Jones counties. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain shaped by intermittent drainage, with several local waterways including China Cr, E China Cr, and Dry Cr feeding into the larger river system.

A network of farm-to-market and county roads, such as FM 1812 N and FM 1085, connects the isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots that define the local economy. In the southeast, Raven Cr cuts across the plains, illustrating the subtle elevation changes characteristic of this portion of the Texas Rolling Plains. The map captures the current state of rural infrastructure and land management, from the residential streets of Sylvester like 4th St to the sprawling reaches of Ranch Rd.
