About this map

The Brazos River winds through the heart of this Throckmorton County landscape, creating a series of dramatic oxbows and bends that define the local geography. Near the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Padgett serves as a rural hub, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads including FM 2898 and the circular Eddleman Loop. Further southwest, the community of Elbert sits at the junction of FM 578 and FM 1711 S, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of North Central Texas in the early 21st century.

Local heritage is anchored by significant landmarks such as the Padgett Cemetery and Reynolds Cemetery, providing vital touchstones for family historians. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with numerous named tributaries like Bitter Creek, Boggy Creek, and Leopard Creek feeding into the main river channel. Aviators and local researchers will also note the Bob D Bailes Airport, situated just east of Elbert along the road that bears its name.
