About this map

Hubbard Cr Reservoir dominates the landscape where the borders of Shackelford and Stephens counties meet. The water levels of this mid-2010s survey reveal The Island and a complex shoreline of inlets fed by numerous tributaries, including McDowell Cr, Negro Cr, and Edwards Br. This hydrography suggests a managed water system typical of the region's ranching and municipal needs, further evidenced by Green Reservoir Number 1 and its counterpart to the south.

Local landmarks provide clear points of reference for genealogists and land researchers, such as Baker Cem situated near Co RD 288. The terrain rises to the north at Flat Top, while the southern reaches are marked by the channel of Hubbard Creek and the notable Catclaw Ridge DR. The network of county roads, including Co RD 287 and Co RD 211, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure in this portion of the Texas Rolling Plains.
