About this map

Rockdale anchors the western edge of this survey, where residential streets give way to a dense network of country roads and family burial grounds. The landscape is notably marked by an unusual concentration of cemeteries, including New E Lawn Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and New Salem Cem, suggesting a long-established rural community structure. To the north, the Houston-Oklahoma Oil Field indicates the region's industrial ties, while several private airstrips like Hensley Ranch Airport dot the terrain.

Water flows through the central and eastern sections via Sandy Creek and Mustang Creek, eventually feeding into the larger drainage of Davidson Creek. These waterways are flanked by subtle rises such as Hart Mtn and Taylor Mtn. Agricultural activity is evident in features like B and B-Minnow Farm Lake and the Meco Ranch Lake, illustrating how the land has been managed for local production and water storage.
