About this map

The Brazos River carves a deep, winding path through this North Texas landscape, defining the border between Parker Co and Hood Co. The northern reaches are characterized by high ground at Stephens Bluff and the broad flats of Big Valley. For genealogists, the map reveals essential family history sites including Stephens Cem, Holder Cem, and Buckner Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the river's bends, from the community of Dennis in the north to the distinctive loop of Horseshoe Bend in the east. Numerous tributaries like Kickapoo Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Red Bank Cr drain the uplands, while natural water features such as Dripping Springs and Black Lake provide local landmarks. The road network, including FM 1189 and various county roads, connects these rural outposts and family homesteads across the county line.
