2010 Map of Brad

About this map

Brad sits at the intersection of local ranch roads in Palo Pinto County, serving as a gateway to the diverse terrain of north-central Texas. The landscape is defined by the deep waters of Possum Kingdom Lake, which creates complex shorelines around Bass Island and Bone Bend. Inland, the terrain rises into prominent landmarks like Hughes Mountain and Hayrick Mountain, intersected by numerous named drainages such as Dillhunt Hollow and Sam Bass Hollow. Industrial activity is marked by the Iles Oil Field, while smaller water management is evident at Pitzer Lake Dam and Petes Pride Lake Dam. This map captures a rural environment where legacy ranching roads like Set Ranch Rd and S&S Ranch Rd weave through geological features like Yellow Gap and Texawa Canyon, illustrating the rugged topography that surrounds the lake's southern reaches.
