2022 Map of Mineral Wells West

About this map

The Brazos River creates a serpentine landscape of dramatic meanders and named bends across this Palo Pinto County terrain. These river loops, including Hart Bend, Ballenger Bend, and Hittson Bend, define the region's geography and history of settlement. To the east, the residential expansion of Mineral Wells reaches toward the river valley along W Hubbard St and Old US Hwy 180, while the rural surroundings maintain their character through family-named landmarks like Barber Mtn and Pollard Hill. Local genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, such as Indian Creek Cem, Griffin Cem, and Willow Pond Cem. The map also documents the aviation history of the area with the Flying U Airport located north of the city limits.
