2016 Map of Paluxy

About this map

The Paluxy River carves through the landscape of Hood County, creating a series of distinctive drainage patterns marked by local names like Windmill Hollow and Buzzard Roost Hollow. This 2016 survey highlights the rural character of the region where Hood, Erath, and Somervell counties meet. Significant local landmarks for genealogists include the Glenn Cem in the northwest and Brooks Cem near the southern boundary, along with the eponymous settlement of Paluxy. The map documents a network of named country roads and topographic features, including Richardson Cr and Sycamore Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Near the northern edge, Texas A and M Lake provides a notable water feature amidst the complex terrain of ridges and draws that define this portion of the Texas landscape.
