About this map

The Clear Fork of the Brazos River cuts a winding path across this North Texas landscape at the triple junction of Stephens, Throckmorton, and Young counties. The small settlement of Crystal Falls sits near the southern bend of the river, serving as a focal point in a region defined by its complex drainage network. Waterways like Hubbard Creek, Huffstuttle Cr, and the smaller Six Shooter Cr feed into the main river valley, creating a dissected topography.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites distributed among the ranchlands and county roads, including the uniquely named Snake Den Cem, as well as Hurford Cem, Stoker Cem, and Mathiews Cem. The presence of the Lester Clark Reservoir and Booley Lake indicates the importance of water management in this cattle-country environment, while the network of ranch-to-market roads like FM 1481 and FM 578 provide the primary transit corridors for this sparse but established community.
