2022 Map of Placid

About this map

The small community of Placid serves as the focal point for this McCulloch County landscape, where the rolling elevations of the Corn Creek Hills meet a network of essential water management structures. The area is defined by its ranching heritage and conservation efforts, evidenced by the presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and the Deep Cr Watershed Reservoir Number Two. Significant landmarks such as Round Mtn and Packsaddle Hill rise above the drainage basins of Corn Cr and Dry Prong Deep Cr. Local history is anchored at the Placid Cem, while the modern infrastructure of FM 2315 and FM 1028 provides the primary connectivity through these central Texas uplands. The distribution of ranch-named features like the Curtis Ranch Field and Z Ranch Lake reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region.
