About this map

The confluence of the Clear Fork Brazos River and the Brazos River dominates this north-central Texas landscape as it appeared in the mid-1920s. Centered on the boundary between Young Co and Stephens Co, the map reveals a rural network defined by riparian terrain and early transportation routes. Small community hubs like Ivan and South Bend serve as anchors for a countryside dotted with local landmarks like Lone Star School and Duff Prairie School.

The presence of the Wichita Southern rail line alongside the Brazos River highlights the era's reliance on railroad corridors for regional connectivity. Notable topographic features such as Whitmire Point, Brushy Point, and Ball Mt provide vertical contrast to the winding creek beds of Veale Creek and Pevelet Creek. This advance sheet, based partly on aerial photography by the Air Service, U.S. Army, offers a precise look at the land before later development altered the rural character of these Texas counties.
