2016 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

Bear Mtn rises above the drainage basins of the Palo Pinto Creek system in this 2016 study of Eastland County. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of W Fork Palo Pinto Cr and S Fork Palo Pinto Cr, which carve through the terrain near Cook Canyon. Several small reservoirs, including Dickey Lake, Crawford Lake, and Fambro Lake, dot the region, supporting local ranching and agricultural operations. Genealogy researchers will find the Cook Cem positioned centrally among these hills, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Cook Canyon Ranch Airport and the corridor of Frontage I-20 at the northern edge. The map captures a transitional landscape where traditional ranching elements, such as family-named landmarks and cemeteries, coexist with contemporary transportation networks.
