About this map

Lake Fork Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this survey, marking a significant era of water management and local infrastructure in Rains County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Turkey Creek, Lake Fork Creek, and Brushy Br, which historically shaped the placement of rural homesteads and agricultural plots. The settlement patterns are punctuated by small community centers like Point, Richland, and Dougherty, where the concentration of family burial grounds and country churches suggests a deeply rooted local history.
