About this map

Sunset and Park Springs anchor this portion of Montague County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features. The area around Lake Amon G Carter features residential developments such as Lake Ridge Blvd and Whispering Oaks Trl, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 14 Reservoir and Site 8 Reservoir.

Transport is dominated by the dual corridor of US Hwy 81 287 and State Loop 511, which bypasses the older town center. Local history is physically represented at the Sunset Beasley Cem near the junction of several county roads. The drainage pattern of Big Sandy Cr and its tributaries like Cowskin Cr and Turkey Cr illustrates the watershed's reliance on these mid-century conservation pools to manage the prairie's intermittent water flow.
