About this map

Tuscola and Ovalo anchor this Central Texas landscape, where the Jim Ned Valley meets the high ridges of the Edwards Plateau. The drainage of Jim Ned Creek and its tributaries, such as Red Bank Creek and Cedar Creek, dictates the placement of long-standing ranching routes like Jones Ranch Rd and Rode Ranch Rd. Evidence of 20th-century water management is visible at the Soil Conservation Service Site 17b1 Dam and Lake Stith Dam.

Prominent landforms define the local geography, including Indian Mountain, Bald Eagle Mountain, and High Lonesome Mountain. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant local landmarks such as Lemons Gap Cemetery and McBee Cemetery near the community of Lawn. To the northwest, Camp Tonkawa is situated near Caterpillar Lake, while the settlement of Guion sits at the southwestern edge of the survey area.
