About this map

The Brazos River carves a deep, serpentine path through the landscape of Hood and Somervell counties, creating a series of dramatic oxbows including Abby Bend, Cox Bend, and Mitchell Bend. This river-driven geography defines the local settlement pattern, with the extensive Pecan Plantation residential and aviation community occupying the northern peninsula, complete with the Pecan Plantation Airport and Kristenstad Cem.

Further south, the landscape transitions toward the small communities of Rainbow and Nemo, where the terrain is marked by smaller tributaries like Squaw Cr and Georges Cr. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds such as Fort Spunky Cem and Oldham Cem, while Barnard Knob provides a distinct topographic landmark overlooking the river valley. The map documents the varied uses of the Brazos corridor, from the water-oriented recreation near Lake Granbury to the historic springs at Fort Spunky Springs.
