About this map

Oran and the eastern edge of Graford anchor this mid-1980s landscape in Palo Pinto County, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Keechi Creek. The confluence of East Fork Keechi Creek and West Fork Keechi Creek creates a complex drainage pattern through the central portion of the map, while the distinct peak of Grindstone Mountain stands as a prominent landmark north of the valley.

A network of local roads and unimproved trails connects remote homesteads and several rural burial sites, including a marked Cem near the community of Oran. The hydrology of the region is further detailed by numerous smaller tributaries like Soda Springs Creek, Salt Branch, and Grindstone Creek, as well as named topographic features like Live Oak Canyon and Bear Hollow, reflecting the traditional ranching and rural character of this Texas territory.
