About this map

Smyrna anchors this portion of Montague County, characterized by a complex network of water management features and rural cemeteries. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Denton Creek and Brushy Creek, where numerous Soil Conservation Service structures, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 22a Dam, regulate the flow across the terrain. These engineering works reflect a concerted effort to manage soil erosion and water runoff in this agricultural region.

For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Huddleston Cemetery, Lake Valley Cemetery, and Ball Knob Cemetery near Ball Knob Hill. The road network, featuring names like Sunset School Rd and Lake Valley Rd, provides clues to the locations of former community centers. Distinctive terrain features like Pitman Hollow and Cattail Hollow further distinguish the local geography between the winding paths of Grapevine Creek and Panther Creek.
