About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this corner of Young County, where the river's broad loops create landforms like Miller Bend. The landscape is defined by the Belknap Mountains and several prominent peaks, including Beehive Mtn, Wolf Mtn, and Sidney Mtn. These elevations overlook a network of creek drainages such as Jim Anderson Cr and Phillip George Br, which feed into the larger river system.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved in the rural landscape, including Medlan Cem, Brooks Cem, and Tonk Valley Cem. The area maintains a distinctly agricultural and ranching character, evidenced by the presence of the Rosser Ranch Airport and a grid of rural routes like Upper Tonk Valley Rd and Medlan Chapel Rd. Near the southern edge of the map, the Clear Fork joins the drainage system amidst the hills of Bass Mtn.
