About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic, winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating distinct geographic features like Goat Neck and Kimball Bend. In 1924, when this survey was conducted by A. J. Ogle and his team, the region was defined by its scattered rural institutions. A high concentration of educational sites, including Dry Branch School, Highland School, and the uniquely named Frog Hollow School, suggests a well-distributed agrarian population.

Transportation is anchored by the Meridian Highway, which cuts across the terrain near Brazos Point. The map captures the meeting of several county lines, including Somervell, Johnson, and Bosque. Local landmarks like Bee Mtn and Niggerhead Bluff provide vertical relief alongside water sources such as Yearling Spring Branch and Camp Creek, while the New Hope Church and Rohme Ranch serve as primary social and agricultural anchors for the community.
