About this map

The Brazos River meanders through the northeastern corner of this Young County landscape, marking the distinct river curve at Brier Bend. Further south, Ball Mountain stands as a prominent topographical feature overlooking the drainages of Veale Creek and Duff Branch. The settlement of Ivan anchors the southwestern portion of the map at the junction of several rural routes including Ranch Rd 717.

This area is notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Brier Bend Cemetery, South Bend Cemetery, and Peveler Cemetery, which provide essential clues for genealogical research in this part of North Texas. Managed water features are evident at the northern edge of the sheet, including Graham Lake Dam and Scott Lake Dam, reflecting mid-century efforts to regulate the Clear Fork and local tributaries for ranching and local utility.
