2013 Map of Salona

About this map

Mallard and the surrounding rangeland of Montague County define this landscape, where the headwaters of Denton Cr and its numerous tributaries like Stillhouse Cr and Dry Valley Cr carve a network of drainage across the terrain. This rural area is marked by a scattering of family and community landmarks, including Mitchell Cem, Mallard Cem, and Jackson Cem, which speak to the long-standing settlement of the North Texas prairies. The local economy is tied to the land, evidenced by the Mallard Oil Field and Aries Caddo Oil Field, which punctuate the territory between established routes like FM 455. Higher ground is marked by Jim Ned Lookout in the northeast, overlooking a transition from the narrow draws of Dry Hollow to the broader flats of Jones Valley. The map detail follows the progression of county roads and loops that connect the small centers of Salona and Pole Hollow to the larger regional network.
