About this map

Possum Kingdom Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Palo Pinto County region, with the protected acreage of Possum Kingdom State Park lining its northern shores. The shoreline is characterized by distinctive points and inlets, including the shoreline settlement of Sandy Beach and the sweeping curve of Poor Bend. To the north, the Brazos River meanders through the terrain in a series of dramatic oxbows, creating isolated pockets of land such as Salem Bend, Brier Bend, and Long Bend.

Rural life is marked by small-scale water management and historical landmarks like Ming Bend Cemetery, located near the northern river loops. Higher elevations are represented by Caudill Mountain in the east, while a network of rural routes like FM 1287 and FM 1148 connect scattered homesteads and ranch properties like Whittenburg Ranch. Numerous drainages including Cove Creek and Fox Hollow Creek feed into the larger river and reservoir system, illustrating the hydrology of north-central Texas.
