About this map

Sibley Creek and its network of tributaries define this section of the Texas rolling plains south of Throckmorton. The landscape is characterized by a sparse settlement pattern typical of modern ranching and oil country, where isolated homesteads like Mt Air sit among a grid of county roads. Transport through this territory relies on established routes such as Old Albany Rd and several Farm to Market roads, including FM 2584 and FM 923.

Cultural landmarks are few but significant for local history, notably the Bush Knob Cem located near Bush Knob Cr in the northeastern quadrant. The drainage systems of Kings Cr, Givens Cr, and Plum Br move toward the southern reaches of the map, where the Clear Fork and Stagestand Br navigate the bottomlands near Brown Lake. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where the naming of small branches and creeks remains the primary method of geographic orientation.
