About this map

The South Fork Clear Fork Trinity River carves through this Parker County landscape, where the Texas and Pacific railroad and the Veterans World War II Highway create a major east-west transportation corridor. The map captures a transition from the rolling terrain of Joe Bell Mtn and the Devils Backbone to the agricultural reaches near Center Point. Family legacies are preserved in the naming of several small burial grounds, including Dixon Cem, Hood Cem, and O'Neal Cem.

Water management is prominent in the central hills, evidenced by a series of controlled impoundments like Res No 31 and Res No 33 along the drainage of Burgess Creek. Significant landmarks like Chattanooga Hill and the Spring Creek Ranch anchor the southern half of the sheet, providing a detailed view of mid-century ranching and local topography before suburban expansion from nearby Fort Worth reached this area.
