About this map

Lipan serves as the primary hub in this Texas landscape, situated at the convergence of Weaver Branch and Crockery Branch. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage systems and notable elevations, including the prominent Double Mountain to the west and Potato Hill in the north. This 1984 provisional survey documents a specific crossroads in North Central Texas where the boundaries of Hood, Erath, Parker, and Palo Pinto counties meet.

The winding course of the Brazos River touches the northeastern corner, while the interior is webbed with seasonal waterways like Kickapoo Creek and Rock Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated near the southern Lipan area and the smaller locality of New Salem in the northwest, offering a clear record of rural property distribution and land use before late 20th-century developments changed the local character.
