About this map

Possum Kingdom Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the waters of the Brazos River are held within a complex network of inlets and channels. This 2019 survey captures the modern shoreline and recreational infrastructure of Possum Kingdom State Park, featuring a dense web of local roads like Trail Ridge Rd and Bug Beach Rd serving lakeside developments. North of the reservoir, the terrain transitions into a more rural ranching environment, characterized by deep river bends and interior drainage systems like Cove Creek and Fox Hollow Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate ancestral markers at Mountain Home Cem and Ming Bend Cem, both situated on the higher ground above the river valley. The map documents the convergence of three Texas counties—Young, Stephens, and Palo Pinto—near landmarks such as Whitenburg Ranch and the distinctive peak of Caudill Mtn. The intricate detail of the Brazos River as it meanders through Salem Bend and Long Bend illustrates the natural forces that have shaped the region's topography and settlement patterns.
