2016 Map of Huntingdon

About this map

Huntingdon serves as the focal point of this Carroll County survey, situated at the intersection of local routes and natural waterways. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of the Crooked Cr Drainage Canal, which cuts through the low-lying wetlands between Hico and the southern settlements. This drainage network, including the Crooked Creek Drainage Canal, illustrates the mid-century engineering efforts to control the local hydrology for agricultural and municipal stability. To the north, Carroll Lake and Lake Isabel provide significant water features near the Carroll County Airport. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Shiloh Cem, McAdoo Cem, and Finley Cem, reveals a long-standing pattern of rural settlement. These sites, along with smaller nodes like Bethel and Lakewood, highlight the genealogical history and established residential footprint of the region.
