About this map

Salona and the nearby community of Mallard anchor this portion of Montague County, characterized by a landscape heavily shaped by mid-century water management projects. Numerous dams and sediment control structures, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Sediment Control Structure 8-1, are distributed throughout the drainage basins of Denton Creek and Mallard Creek. These features illustrate the intensive efforts to manage erosion and runoff in this North Texas ranching and oil-producing region.

Energy extraction is prominent in the landscape, evidenced by the Aries Caddo Oil Field and the Mallard Oil Field. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several burial sites including Mitchell Cemetery, Denver Cemetery, and Jackson Cemetery. Terrain features like Dry Hollow and Jones Valley highlight the undulating geography of the area, while the Jim Ned Lookout stands as a notable vantage point in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle.
