About this map

Whitt and the surrounding ranching country of the Palo Pinto and Parker County line are captured in this mid-1980s USGS survey. The landscape is defined by the network of seasonal drainages, including Turkey Creek, Rock Creek, and Salt Branch, which carve through the terrain. Small rural centers like Peadenville and Salesville serve as the primary hubs for the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations that mark this region of North Central Texas.

In the southeast, the map shows the upper reaches of Lake Mineral Wells State Park, where the transition from working land to recreational space begins. Unusual industrial features like Rock Crusher Lake indicate local resource extraction, while named topographic points such as Red Hollow, Devils Hollow, and Rippy Br provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing family landholdings and historical property boundaries in this transition zone between the Cross Timbers and the Rolling Plains.
