1984 Map of Brazos East

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Palo Pinto and Parker counties, defining a landscape of dramatic oxbows and named overlooks. In this early 1980s documentation, the river's serpentine course is punctuated by several prominent features like Littlefield Bend, Meeks Bend, and Polk Stalk Bend, while Inspiration Point and Arleburn Point offer high-elevation views over the valley floor. The settlement of Millsap occupies the northeastern corner, contrasted by the industrial presence of Gravel Pits and a Filtration Plant near Bennett. Land use in the broad Dobbs Valley and Gilbert Valley reflects the region's agricultural and resource-based economy. Significant watercourses including Palo Pinto Creek, Rock Creek, and Grassy Branch feed into the main river, illustrating the complex drainage network of this Texas terrain.
