The petroleum industry defines this corner of North Texas, where the Lazy B Oil Field and the McKinlay Oil Field indicate the ongoing legacy of the region's energy economy. This landscape is shaped by a grid of rural routes and creek beds, notably Scaling Lake and the various branches of Willow Cr and Lodge Cr. Several prominent country roads, including Bill Gilmore Rd, Wilson Rd, and the curiously named Gasoline Alley Rd, connect isolated homesteads and drilling sites. The map illustrates a rural landscape in 2012 where the infrastructure of local ranching and the oil patch are deeply intertwined, visible in the network of farm-to-market roads like FM-174 and family-named thoroughfares such as Hugh Henderson Rd and Raymond Edwards Rd.
