2019 Map of Tackett Mountain

About this map

Murray occupies the western edge of this Young County landscape, a rural settlement defined by its proximity to the Murray Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal waterways and creeks, including Fish Cr, Ratiff Br, and Cribb Station Cr, which drain toward the Brazos River visible in the northeast. Significant elevation is found at Tackett Mtn, providing a vantage point over the ranching lands and small stock ponds such as Tub Tank and Bait Tank. This 2019 survey documents a region where local heritage is preserved in family and community burial grounds like Tyra Cem. The map illustrates how modern county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 209 and FM 3109, follow the contours of the land, connecting scattered homesteads and ranches while respecting the natural flow of the creek beds.
