About this map

The Brazos River carves a deep, serpentine path through this region of Somervell and Hood Counties, defining the landscape with its dramatic oxbows such as Abby Bend, Cox Bend, and Mitchell Bend. This early 21st-century landscape is marked by the developed residential and aviation community at Pecan Plantation, which features both the Pecan Plantation Airport and The Landings Airport tucked within the river's loops.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Kristenstad Cem, Ft Spunky Cem, and the Oldham Cem near the southern border. The settlement of Nemo sits in the southeast, while the river corridor supports recreation and youth activities at Camp Arrowhead and Rainbow Camp. From the heights of Barnard Knob to the historic site of Fort Spunky, the map documents a transition from traditional rural Texas communities like Rainbow and Mambrino to modern suburban developments and riverside retreats.
