About this map

The Brazos River creates a meandering path through Palo Pinto County, defining the local geography with a series of dramatic oxbows including Hart Bend, Moffitt Bend, and Hittson Bend. This 2010 topographic record shows the western outskirts of Mineral Wells as it transitions into the river valley terrain. The landscape is characterized by prominent elevations like Pollard Hill and Barber Mountain, interspersed with drainage features such as Keechi Creek and Turkey Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Locke Cemetery, Indian Creek Cemetery, and Pollard Cemetery. The map also traces the path of Bankhead Rd, a segment of the first all-weather transcontinental highway in the United States, alongside rural settlements like Coronados Camp and Pleasant. Infrastructure such as the Wilson Lake Dam and the network of county roads like Seybold Rd provide a clear view of the regional development and land use during the early 21st century.
