2012 Map of Fort Griffin

About this map

Fort Griffin occupies a strategic position along the meandering Clear Fork of the Brazos River, serving as the focal point for this landscape in Shackelford County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Mill Cr, Shirley Br, and Foyle Cr, which cut through the ranchlands. Local history is anchored by the Ft Griffin Cem and Ledbetter Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. Infrastructure here reflects both modern transit and historical routes, notably the State Highway 23 Bridge and the Fort Griffin Brazos River Bridge. Small bodies of water like Taylor Lake and McGowan Lake dot the landscape, while named thoroughfares such as Old Albany Rd and Nichols Rd trace the path of earlier frontier movement across this Central Texas region.
