About this map

Lake Weatherford serves as the central focal point of this Parker County landscape, a reservoir managed through a series of numbered dams and spillways such as Reservoir Number Twenty-one and Reservoir Number Twenty-two-A. The area shows significant residential growth concentrated along the southern corridor and the lake's eastern shores, where settlements like Hudson Oaks and Willow Park have developed near the Clear Fork Trinity River.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds preserved in the topography, including Wright Cem, Simmons Cem, and Bethel Cem. Smaller communities such as Dicey, Wright, and Punkin Center punctuate the northern and western sections of the map, while recreational sites like Clear Fork Ski Haven indicate the area's modern role as a regional destination for water-based activities. The terrain is further defined by numerous tributaries, including Silver Cr and Green Br, which feed into the larger river system.
