About this map

Soap Creek and the Wichita River converge in a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and rural ranch roads in this section of north-central Texas. The topography is shaped by the drainage patterns of the North Wichita River and the meandering path of Crooked Creek as they move toward the main river channel. Human infrastructure is concentrated along the southern and eastern margins of the sheet, marked by several county roads such as Co RD 140 and Arledge Rd that navigate the varied elevation.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Henson Cemetery located in the southeast corner near the intersection of several local routes. The presence of Peacock Dam and the resulting Peacock Lake indicates the importance of water management in this arid environment. The map details a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 1919 and FM 2669, which serve as the primary conduits between the isolated homesteads and pastures of the region.
