About this map

The South Fork Trinity River winds through this Parker County landscape, where the 1959 survey reveals a mix of traditional ranching and emerging infrastructure. Settlement is anchored by the community of Annetta and the smaller clusters of Center Point and Earls. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Joe Bell Mtn, Dixon Mtn, and the sharp ridge of Devils Backbone. Local genealogy is well-represented by several family burying grounds, including Dixon Cem, O'Neal Cem, and Hood Cem.

Transportation and water management shape the area's development, evidenced by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor and the newly designated World War II Veterans Memorial Highway. While much of the land remains dedicated to large holdings like Nob Hill Ranch and Spring Creek Ranch, the map also documents localized industrial activity at numerous Gravel Pits and the systematic engineering of several small reservoirs, including Res No 31 and Res No 33.
