About this map

Brock and Brock Junction serve as the primary hubs in this rural Parker County landscape, surveyed in the late 1950s. The area is defined by its winding watercourses, including Grindstone Creek and Little Grindstone Creek, which feed toward the Brazos River in the southwest corner. The riverfront is marked by prominent natural landmarks like Stephens Bluff and Hicks Bluff.

Transportation and resource extraction are central themes, with the World War II Veterans Highway cutting through the northern half of the territory and numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the countryside. For genealogists and local historians, the map is an invaluable record of family-named sites, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds such as Cox Cem, Brashier Cem, and Johnson Cem, alongside community anchors like Dennis Ch.
