2012 Map of Hamlin NW

About this map

California Creek and its many tributaries, including Hitson Creek and Oleys Creek, define the drainage patterns of this West Texas landscape. The northwestern outskirts of Hamlin serve as the primary hub of development, where a grid of streets like NW Avenue A and NW 14th St meets the rural hinterland. Outside of the main town, the map reveals smaller focal points of historical and local interest, such as the settlement of Hitson and the isolated Pardue Camp. The distribution of water resources is critical in this environment, evidenced by named landmarks like Moore Spring, Moore Lake, and the larger Double Mountain Fork Brazos River crossing the northern boundary. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Afton Cemetery and N Cemetery, which provide clues to the early residency patterns of Fisher and Jones counties.
