About this map

The Brazos River creates a serpentine landscape of dramatic meanders in this portion of North Texas, where the river's path is defined by sharp turns like Ming Bend, Wild Bend, and Waco Bend. The creation of Possum Kingdom Lake transformed this rugged terrain into a complex system of inlets and islands. Prominent landmarks such as Costello Island and Bloodweed Island sit at the heart of the reservoir, while the surrounding shoreline is marked by elevations like McAdams Peak and Storms Mtn.

Modern development is visible through the concentration of airfields and residential subdivisions, including Cosmo Field and The Hills Over Pk Lake. Local history is anchored by the McAdams Cem near McGinnis Point, offering a physical link to the area's earlier settlement. The map also captures the administrative divide between Young County and Palo Pinto County, which bisects the reservoir's northern reaches.
