About this map

The Irma Oil Field and Troy Oil Field dominate the southwestern and central landscape of this Nevada County region, highlighting the area's continued reliance on petroleum extraction into the early 21st century. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed rural communities including Waterloo, Ames, Young, and Nevark, many of which are connected by a network of local roads such as Potlatch Rd and Washington Post Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds preserved here, from the Barksdale Cemetery in the north to the White Church Cemetery on the eastern edge. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system where Caney Creek and its tributary Sanders Creek flow southward, while Cypress Creek and Black Branch navigate the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Anthony Switch suggests historical rail connections that once supported the local timber or agricultural economy.
