2013 Map of Acworth

About this map

The Red River defines the borderlands of this area, carving a winding path through the landscape near Acworth and Greenwood. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the river basin, featuring oxbow formations and cutoff channels like Lick-Skillet Cut-Off and Lick-Skillet Lake. The presence of Red Lake and Horseshoe Lake further suggests the river's historical shifts over time. Local history is anchored by Bachman Cem and the settlement at Acworth, while the surrounding terrain is drained by numerous tributaries such as Collier Cr, Sulpher Springs Cr, and Greenwood Br. This map captures a rural Texas landscape where family-named springs like Bryarly Springs and local landmarks like the Waterfall-Gilford Creeks Site 1 Reservoir remain vital components of the community's geographic identity.
