About this map

Yancey and its surrounding ranchlands in Medina County are defined by the winding drainages of Tehuacana Creek and West Tehuacana Creek. The landscape transitions from agricultural holdings to industrial sites, most notably marked by the Taylor-Ina Oil Field in the northeast quadrant. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the area, including Butts Cemetery, Styles Cemetery, and Yancey Cemetery, which offer important points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region.

Water management is evident through features like the Faseler Lake Dam on Seco Creek, while the presence of Hidden Valley Ranch and Hood Ranch illustrates the ongoing importance of large-scale landholdings. A network of rural routes, such as FM 2200 and FM 462, connects these remote settlements and landmarks across the terrain, which rises toward Red Hill and is further intersected by the seasonal flow of Squirrel Creek.
