About this map

Pecan Bayou and its winding tributaries, including Big Bayou and Rough Bayou, dominate this rural Texas landscape during the mid-1920s. The settlement of Grosvenor sits near the headwaters of Dry Creek, while the village of Thrifty is positioned further south along the Jim Ned Creek drainage. This survey, conducted by C.W. Goodlove and his team, reveals a country economy deeply tied to the land and water, evidenced by numerous river crossings like Frys Ford and Turner Ford.

The social infrastructure of the county is clearly visible through its distributed network of rural institutions. Small schoolhouses such as Buffalo School, Macedonia School, and Red River School are scattered across the terrain alongside community hubs like Eureka Church. In the northern section, the Indian Campground sits near the Graham and Brownwood Road, highlighting a specific landmark of local significance amidst the prominent elevations of Mayberry Mtn and The Pinnacle.
