About this map

The town of Sylvester sits in the northwest corner of this West Texas survey, serving as the primary human settlement in a landscape dominated by the branching drainages of the Brazos River system. The Clear Fork Brazos River winds across the central portion of the map, fed by a network of seasonal watercourses including China Creek, East China Creek, and Dry Creek. These riparian corridors provide the primary structural detail in an area otherwise marked by wide-open ranching or agricultural land.

A small Gravel Pit near the edge of town indicates local extraction efforts, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Fisher Co Jones Co boundary line. The drainage of Raven Creek in the southeast further emphasizes the importance of these water sources to the region's geography. This provisional survey provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of Fisher County during the mid-1980s.
