About this map

Lake Weatherford serves as the central focal point for this Parker County landscape, where the waters of the Clear Fork Trinity River are harnessed by the Lake Weatherford Dam. The surrounding topography is marked by a transition from traditional rural homesteads and family cemeteries to modern suburban developments and specialized recreational sites. In the southern corridor, the settlements of Hudson Oaks and Willow Park demonstrate residential growth along major transit lines, while smaller locales like Dicey, Wampler, and Punkin Center maintain their distinct geographic identities.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of historic burial grounds such as Bethel Cemetery, Clark Cemetery, and the Wampler Cemetery. The land is heavily modified by water management projects, evidenced by a dense network of Soil Conservation Service reservoirs including Reservoir Number Sixteen and Reservoir Number Thirty. Unique local landmarks like Clear Fork Ski Haven and private airfields such as Cross Wind Airport and Blue Skies Airport reveal a landscape increasingly defined by leisure and aviation.
