About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River winds through this section of Throckmorton County, defining a landscape of sharp bends and named crossings. Historical transit points like Coody Crossing and M K Crossing suggest the importance of river access in this cattle-country environment, while Dug Ford provides another specific point of interest for researchers tracing old routes through the brush and canyonlands. The topography is marked by several distinct elevations, including Hoover Mountain and Round Mountain, which overlook the broader Round Valley.

Stock tanks are frequent markers across the range, with Paint Canyon Tank, Cottonwood Tank, and Wolf Creek Tank serving as essential water sources for local operations like the Sloan Ranch. The map also captures the natural drainage patterns of the region, from the Buffalo Draw to the winding course of Paint Creek and its tributary North Paint Creek. These features illustrate the intersection of natural hydrology and the working ranch lands of North Texas.
