About this map

The Brazos River carves a sweeping arc through this North Texas landscape, defining the topography with its deep curves and numerous hollows. Along its northern banks, the terrain is pocketed by Opossum Hollow and Elm Hollow, leading toward the prominent Kimball Bend. This 2012 survey captures the rural character of the region, where the Nolan River flows south to join the Brazos, passing through the town of Blum.

Local history is anchored by family and community sites like the JT Baker Farmstead and the Grange Hall Cem. The settlement pattern varies from the concentrated street grid of Rio Vista in the northeast to the scattered landings and developments such as Fishermans Paradise and Bluff Mills. Transport and commerce are reflected in the presence of the Lowell Smith Jr Airport and several small rural airports, alongside a network of Farm to Market and county roads that link these riverside communities.
