About this map

Gunsight stands at the heart of this rolling landscape in north-central Texas, where the drainage networks of Gunsolus Cr and Colony Cr shape the local topography. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of high ground, including Bald Mtn, Maxwell Mtn, and the curiously named Steal Easy Mtn to the north. These summits provided natural landmarks for the early ranching and farming communities that settled this portion of Stephens and Eastland counties.

Rural infrastructure is defined by a web of county roads and FM 1852, connecting remote homesteads and providing access to sites like Acker Cem. The hydrology is particularly detailed, tracing the complex tributaries of the W Fork Gunsolus Cr, Middle Fork Gunsolus Cr, and E Fork Gunsolus Cr. To the south, Gunsight Mtn overlooks the crossing of the Stephens Co Eastland Co line, offering a precise look at the jurisdictional boundaries and land divisions of the region as they appeared in 2019.
