About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, defining the rural character of the region as it transitions between Palo Pinto Co and Parker Co. This area is characterized by dramatic river bends and points, such as Polk Stalk Bend, Littlefield Bend, and Arteburn Point, which have long dictated the placement of local settlements and roads. The town of Millsap sits in the northeast corner, while smaller communities like Bennett and Brazos are situated near the waterway and historical rail corridors.

Family and community history is anchored in the numerous small burial grounds found throughout the territory. Genealogists can locate sites like Poe Prairie Cem and Dominican Merlo Cem, alongside more isolated spots such as Grassdale Cem and Brannon Cem. The terrain south of the river is marked by geographic features like Dobbs Valley and Gilbert Valley, while the western edge is defined by the course of Palo Pinto Creek.
