About this map

Graham and the Belknap Mountains anchor this North Texas landscape, where the Brazos River meets significant water management projects. This mid-1980s data highlights the region's hydrography, including Lake Graham, Lake Eddleman, and the northern reaches of Possum Kingdom Lake. The transition from the ranching lands of Young Co to the rolling hills of Jack Co is marked by a network of established settlements like Olney, Newcastle, and Jacksboro.

Industrial and transportation histories are visible through the Burlington Northern rail line and an Old Rr Grade that traces earlier transit routes through the countryside. Cultural landmarks such as the Barton Chapel and the historic grounds of Fort Richardson State Park provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also identifies numerous family-named peaks and knobs, including Shin Oak Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, which define the local topography between the river bottoms and upland plains.
