Mount Sylvia

Mount Sylvia is a rural community and church located between the J.J. Morris Ranch and FM 1402, about 10 miles north of Mount Pleasant. It is only a stone's throw south of White Oak Creek. Lake-opponent Joe Max McKelvey spent his childhood in the scenic Mount Sylvia area.

In and around this area, there are a number of trees with white bark. Here is a grove of them near Mount Sylvia. They don't look like either white oak or cottonwood trees, so probably they are some sort of birch trees. This was an impressive sight.

The above are various views, looking north and west, along the road to Mount Sylvia.
