2019 Map of Fort Griffin

About this map

The Clear-Fork Brazos River cuts through this portion of West Texas, defining the landscape where the Throckmorton Co and Shackelford Co lines meet. At the heart of this area lies Fort Griffin, a site deeply tied to the frontier defense and cattle-driving history of the region. The map documents the persistent layout of local transportation, including Old Albany Rd and the significant Fort Griffin Brazos River Bridge. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of the Fort Griffin Cem and Ledbetter Cem offers specific points of genealogical interest. The terrain is marked by numerous named tributaries such as Stagestand Br and Plum Br, which feed into the main river channel. Small water bodies like Taylor Lake and McCowan Lake dot the winding drainage basins, illustrating the ranching and agricultural water management typical of the Shackelford County countryside.
