About this map

Deaton Mountain and the Twin Mountains anchor a landscape defined by cattle ranching and energy extraction in Erath County. The presence of the X-Ray Gas Field and the eponymous X-Ray Cemetery point to the area's industrial and community roots, while ranching infrastructure is visible in private strips like Dearing Ranch Airport and Mize Ranch Airport.

Water management is central to the terrain, with several creek systems including Barton Creek, Lost Creek, and Hannibal Creek draining the territory. Man-made features like the Stewart Lake Dam and Clapp Lake Dam illustrate how the environment was modified to support local needs. Long-established burial grounds such as Liberty Cemetery and Russel Chapel Cemetery provide essential markers for genealogists tracing families in this part of north-central Texas.
