2016 Map of Stoneburg

About this map

Stoneburg sits at the junction of several rural routes along the eastern edge of the Clay County and Montague County line, marking a landscape defined by ranching and water management. This 2016 survey illustrates a terrain of rolling hills and creek drainages, highlighted by prominent topographic landmarks such as Double Mounds and Flag Mound. The drainage patterns of W Belknap Cr, Middle Belknap Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr converge near several artificial impoundments including Bowie Lake and C E Campbell Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family-named roads and the Hopewell Cem, which remains a central point of interest in this sparsely populated cattle country. The proximity of Plaxco Lake and the network of local ranch roads like Butler Ranch Rd and Kennedy Rd suggest a continuing tradition of land use that has shaped this part of North Texas for generations.
