About this map

The settlement of Silver stands as the central point of this West Texas landscape, positioned amidst a network of drainage systems that feed into the south-flowing Colorado River. The topography is defined by distinct elevations such as Silver Peak, Stepp Mountain, and Jackson Mountain, which rise above the surrounding plains and draws. This area is heavily marked by the region's petroleum industry, evidenced by the McCabe Oil Field in the north and the Jameson-Strawn Oil Field to the southwest, along with infrastructure like the Pvt Rd Gas Plant and Gas Plant Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites at McKenzie Cemetery near Walnut Creek and Cedar Hill Cemetery in the southwest corner. The map traces the intricate water network of the Permian Basin fringe, including Cemetery Draw, Little Silver Creek, and Willmo Sand Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural road system from Silver Loop Rd to various ranch and county routes.
