2022 Map of Graford East

About this map

Graford and the smaller settlement of Oran anchor this portion of Palo Pinto County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into Keechi Creek. The landscape transitions from the residential blocks of Graford to more isolated canyons and draws, most notably Live Oak Canyon and Bear Hollow. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Graford Cem, Oran Cem, and the more remote Union Hill Cem to the southeast. Transport across these broken lands relies on a grid of county roads like Old Christian Rd and High Lonesome Rd, which navigate around prominent landmarks such as Grindstone Mtn. The numerous named branches, such as Flatrock Br and Soda Springs Cr, suggest a land shaped by seasonal water flow and ranching history.
