About this map

The town of Tuscola serves as a central hub in this Taylor County landscape, where the street grid is organized along Railroad Ave and intersected by several numbered streets. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including High Lonesome Mtn, Bald Eagle Mtn, and Double Gap Mtn, which frame the local passes at Lemons Gap. These natural features dictate the drainage patterns of waterways like Jim Ned Cr and Red Bank Cr, which feed into local catchments such as Ovalo Lake and Lake Stith.

Smaller settlements and rural landmarks are scattered throughout the region, including Ovalo, Guion, and Lawn. For those researching family history, the map identifies local burial sites such as Lemons Gap Cem and McBee Cem. The presence of Camp Tonkawa and Caterpillar Lake in the northwest corner highlights the recreational and community aspects of the area, while a dense network of county roads and ranch roads connects these disparate rural outposts.
