About this map

Olney and the smaller settlement of True anchor this Young County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages. Waterways such as Red Haw Creek, Willow Pond Creek, and Little Salt Creek carve shallow paths across the terrain, while the label White Water suggests a localized hydrological feature of interest to those studying the area's natural history.

Economic activity is represented by the Benson Oil Field in the northern portion of the quadrangle, a nod to the region's petroleum heritage. The survey records a meticulous grid of rural roads, many bearing family names like Pringle Rothell Rd, McClatchey Rd, and Taack Rd. These thoroughfares connect the scattered farmsteads and ranchlands that characterize this part of North Texas, providing a clear view of the rural settlement patterns existing in the early 21st century.
