About this map

Lake Weatherford serves as the focal point of this Parker County landscape, where the Clear Fork Trinity River is harnessed by an extensive system of water management infrastructure. Numerous reservoirs, such as Reservoir No 16 and Reservoir No 21, dot the surrounding hills, feeding into branches like Patton Branch and Silver Creek. This hydraulic network supports small rural clusters and ranching outposts, including Dicey and the Shangri-La Ranch.

Social centers for the mid-century community are found at the Friendship Ch and Clear Fork Ch, while the region's family histories are preserved at Bethel Cem and Wampler Cem. To the south, the Veterans World War II Hy provides a major transit corridor near the Punkin Center settlement. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional land use meets the engineered development of the local watershed.
