About this map

Center Ridge Cem stands in the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a point of generational continuity in a region defined by dramatic relief. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and hollows, including Ross Mountain, Indian Mtn, and Kisinger Mtn. This area serves as a rugged meeting point for Young, Jack, and Palo Pinto Counties, where the elevated heights of Shin Oak Mtn and Flag Mtn overlook a complex network of seasonal drainages like Filbuster Cr and Rock Cr.

In the southeast, the geography transitions toward the shoreline of Possum Kingdom Lake, a significant water feature that shapes the local topography. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as Cement Mountain Rd and Ross Valley Rd, which navigate the steep grades of Buck Hollow and the slopes surrounding Tripp Hill. The layout of these routes and the naming of features like Berry Dairy Rd reflect a history of cattle ranching and land use tailored to the challenging North Texas environment.
