About this map

The Brazos River snakes through the heart of this landscape, marking the intersection of Somervell, Johnson, and Bosque Counties. This river-dominated terrain features significant elevation changes, particularly at Negrohead Bluff and the prominent Bee Mtn to the southeast. For those researching local family histories, the map identifies several rural burying grounds including Stanford Cem, Nichols Cem, Baker Lain Cem, and Lafon Cem, which serve as physical anchors for the area's early residents.

Aviation and recreation are present in the form of the Goatneck Airport and several localized water bodies like Houston Lake Number 1 and Mokszycki Lake. The infrastructure is a mix of traditional county roads and newer residential developments, such as the streets surrounding Retreat Blvd. The unique geography of the Kimball Bend illustrates how the river's path continues to shape the boundary lines and access points of these Central Texas communities.
