1984 Map of Brazos West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic, winding path through this corner of Palo Pinto County, creating a series of distinctive landforms including Village Bend, John Hittson Bend, and Chestnut Bend. This 1970s field-checked survey reveals a landscape of high relief where Robinson Mountain stands over the drainage systems of Palo Pinto Creek and Buck Creek. The small community of Brazos serves as a local anchor near the river's crossing, while the area around Baker and Pleasant Valley to the north reflects the rural settlement patterns of north-central Texas. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the numerous named bends and hollows, such as Hogpen Hollow and Edmondson Bend, which often preserve the surnames of early ranching and farming families who settled along the river's fertile but complex floodplain.
