About this map

The Bryson Oil Field and scattered rural settlements define this portion of North Texas, where the landscape is intricately managed for water conservation. Numerous dams, such as the Rhodes Lake Dam and several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, punctuate the drainages of West Salt Creek and Board Tree Creek, reflecting the region's reliance on engineered water storage. The community of Senate and the small cluster at Bob Town serve as local landmarks along a network of country roads including Berwick RD and Mountain Home RD.

For genealogists and local historians, the area preserves several legacy sites. Both the Winn Hill Cemetery and Cottonwood Cemetery are documented, located near prominent terrain features like Tater Hill and Winn Hill. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 21st century, from family-named thoroughfares like Marley RD to the widespread petroleum activity that has long shaped the local economy.
