About this map

Lake Granbury dominates the central landscape of this 2012 survey, its irregular shoreline creating a complex geography of peninsulas and inlets such as Walters Bend and Carmichael Bend. The residential development of DeCordova and Acton reveals a community deeply tied to the reservoir, with extensive street networks like Nassau Bay Airport and various recreational landings bordering the water. This era shows the transition of the Brazos River valley into a series of lakeside neighborhoods, while older land markers remain visible in the layout of sites like Acton Cem and the small settlement of Waples to the north.

Away from the main lake body, the terrain is defined by several seasonal watercourses including Nolan Br, Walnut Cr, and Fall Cr. These creeks weave through a mix of established residential blocks and larger tracts, anchored by landmarks like Camp Leonard and the local Power Plant. The southern reaches are defined by the Brazos River itself as it continues its course downstream from the dam, passing the community of El Tesoro.
