About this map

The town of Lipan serves as the focal point of this North Texas survey, situated where the borders of Hood, Erath, and Palo Pinto counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, such as Dry Br Kickapoo Cr and Crockery Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain. To the north, the small settlement of New Salem remains a distinct marker of local geography.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including New Salem Cem, Landreth Cem, and Evergreen Cem. Prominent physical features like Double Mtn and Potato Hill provide navigational anchors in a region where the land use remains primarily agricultural and residential, punctuated by a Quarry near the northern boundary. The intricate network of county roads, such as Natty Flat Rd and Uphill Ranch Rd, illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of this part of the Texas Cross Timbers region.
