About this map

The Paluxy River winds through this Hood County landscape, anchoring a rural community defined by its watercourses and small settlements. At the heart of the area lies the village of Paluxy, situated near the confluence where Richardson Creek and Pony Creek meet the river. Local landmarks like Panter Branch Hall and the Texas A and M Lake Dam reflect the intersection of communal life and land management.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through the Glenn Cemetery in the northwest and Brooks Cemetery to the southeast. The terrain is marked by numerous named drainages, including the evocatively titled Buzzard Roost Hollow, Starve Out Branch, and Goss Hollow, which suggest the early challenges of settling this north-central Texas region. These features, along with historic routes like Paluxy Hwy, illustrate the enduring layout of the countryside into the early 21st century.
