About this map

Coody Crossing and M K Crossing mark critical points of transit across this Throckmorton County landscape, where winding watercourses define the layout of ranching life. The Clear Fork of the Brazos River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, creating prominent landforms like Shinnery Bend and Burkett Bend. These sharp river curves are complemented by land features such as Cedar Ridge and Round Valley, illustrating the topographically varied character of north-central Texas.

Industrial and agricultural utility is evident in the numerous stock tanks scattered across the terrain, including Paint Canyon Tank and Wolf Cr Tank. Elevated points like Hoover Mtn and Round Mtn overlook a network of draws and canyons, most notably Cottonwood Canyon and Buffalo Draw. The presence of the Sloan Ranch and named crossings like Dug Ford suggests a history of cattle movement and local travel through this rangeland in the early twenty-first century.
