1965 Map of Fort Griffin

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The historical military presence and frontier settlement of Fort Griffin anchor this landscape along the Clear Fork Brazos River. This survey, updated in the early 1980s from mid-century photogrammetric methods, captures the preserved grounds of Fort Griffin State Park, where ruins and a designated Picnic Area sit near the river's bend. The map reflects a quiet rural region defined by its cattle ranching history and early energy exploration, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the limestone hills. Local genealogy is preserved through the locations of the Fort Griffin Cem and Ledbetter Cem, while the winding hydrology of Lambshead Creek and Collins Creek reveals the natural drainages that dictated early ranch boundaries and movement through the Throckmorton and Shackelford County line.
