2022 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

Cook Canyon serves as a central geographic feature in this part of Eastland County, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Palo Pinto Creek system. The confluence of the W Fork Palo Pinto Cr and S Fork Palo Pinto Cr highlights a landscape etched by seasonal drainages like Bear Cr and Brush Cr. Evidence of early settlement and family history is anchored by the Cook Cem, while the modern era is represented by the private Cook Canyon Ranch Airport. To the northeast, the elevation rises toward Bear Mtn, overlooking Fambro Lake and the branching waters of Jenny Cr. This survey illustrates a quiet ranching landscape where small-scale water impoundments like Dickey Lake support local land use amidst the intricate network of local county roads.
