2010 Map of Graford West

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the southern reach of this landscape, defining the prominent river curves at Fortune Bend and B C Harris Bend. In this portion of Palo Pinto County, the terrain transitions from the elevated height of McClure Mountain down to the open expanse of Rocky Prairie. The small community of Graford serves as the primary settlement, situated at the junction of several local routes like Division St and Ragle Rd. The local economy and history are marked by the presence of the Loyd-Dalton Oil Field and the quiet grounds of the Lu Queen Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians. A dense network of seasonal drainages, including Little Keechi Creek and Dark Valley Creek, illustrates the complex watershed that feeds into the river system below Scott Canyon.
