About this map

Lake Fort Phantom Hill dominates this north-central Texas landscape, serving as a primary reservoir for the growing outskirts of Abilene. The map detail captures the complex hydrology of the region, where the Clear Fork Diversion Dam manages the flow of the Clear Fork river into the larger lake body. The shoreline is marked by distinct topographical features like Cheyenne Cove and Arrow Pt, which are surrounded by a developing network of residential roads such as Poverty Point Cir and Mohegan Rd.

South of the water, the transition from rural land to the urban fringe is evident in the proximity of small settlements like Impact and Hamby. This area holds significant local history and memorial value, containing the Texas State Veterans Cem at Abilene and the Round Mound Cem. The terrain is etched by several seasonal drainage patterns, including Deadman Cr, Elm Creek, and Cedar Creek, which converge across the Jones and Taylor county lines.
