2016 Map of Fisk

About this map

Fisk sits at the intersection of local routes in this Texas cattle country, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent creeks and water management projects. Red Bank Cr and Home Cr snake through the terrain, feeding into numerous numbered reservoirs established for soil conservation. These waterworks, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir, illustrate the modern agricultural engineering required to manage the watershed of the Colorado River basin. For those exploring family roots in the area, the Brown Ranch Cem stands as a quiet marker of the ranching heritage that shaped this part of Coleman County. The map also traces the path of Shields Hwy and several farm-to-market roads that connect these remote ranchlands to the wider region.
