2010 Map of Placid

About this map

Placid serves as the central settlement in this landscape defined by a network of ranch roads and water management sites in McCulloch County. The area’s geography is shaped by the presence of numerous small-scale reservoirs and dams, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Lake and the Deep Creek Watershed Reservoir Number Four, which reflect a concerted effort to manage local hydrology for agriculture. Prominent elevations including Round Mountain, Packsaddle Hill, and the Corn Creek Hills punctuate the terrain, providing clear landmarks across the ranchlands. These physical features, alongside named sites like Curtis Ranch Field, offer a detailed perspective on the region's land use during the early 21st century. The map also documents the infrastructure of the era through a dense grid of county roads, including Co RD 460 and Co RD 430, which connect the scattered rural homesteads and livestock tanks.
