About this map

The Salt Fork of the Brazos River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Stonewall County, Texas, as it appeared in the mid-1920s. This preliminary edition, compiled in part from Air Service aerial photographs, documents a rural landscape defined by river crossings and small schoolhouses that served as community hubs. While much of the quadrangle remains an unsurveyed area, the eastern portion detail is dense with evidence of early 20th-century settlement patterns.

The settlement at Old Glory sits near the southern edge along State Highway No 18, connected to the wider region by the Wichita Valley drainage. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of New Hope Sch, Sandlin Sch, and Hooker Sch provides critical context for family roots in this part of West Texas, while named landmarks like Redhorse Crossing and Robinson Crossing show where early travelers navigated the river's rugged breaks.
