2022 Map of Raven Creek North

About this map

Sylvester sits at the northwestern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of the Clear Fork Brazos River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including China Cr, E China Cr, and Dry Cr, which carve through the plains toward the river basin. This area along the boundary of Fisher County and Jones County reflects a mid-20th-century rural infrastructure, with farm-to-market roads like FM 57 and FM 1812 N connecting isolated homesteads and ranching tracts. The map captures the subtle elevation changes of the rolling prairie, illustrating how water access and county lines dictated the placement of early ranch roads and settlements in this part of the Rolling Plains.
