About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic, winding path through this corner of Central Texas, forming the sharp oxbow of Kimball Bend and the distinctive peninsula known as Goat Neck. Surveyed in the mid-1920s, the landscape is defined by the rural intersections of Somervell, Johnson, and Bosque Counties. Small community life centers around the settlement at Brazos Point and several country schoolhouses, including Highland Sch and the uniquely named Frog Hollow Sch.

Transport and topography follow the water, with family landmarks like Robine Ranch situated near the river's edge. The presence of New Hope Ch and the Freeland and Brazos Valley Sch suggests a network of shared civic life before modern consolidation changed the rural Texas school system. Steep elevation changes are evident along the river bluffs, while tributaries such as Rock Creek and Yearling Creek drain the surrounding prairie and hills.
