About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through this rural portion of Stonewall County, creating a landscape of canyons and creek beds. Near the river's bend lies Red Bluff Crossing, a location defined by the intersecting hydrology of the region. The map highlights the sparse ranching infrastructure typical of West Texas, including the Crescent Ranch and several man-made water features such as Cooper Lake Dam and Holland Dam.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Mount Zion Cemetery positioned in the southern portion of the quadrangle, accessible by a network of county roads including Co RD 234 and Co RD 241. Prominent terrain features such as Poke Mountain and Poke Canyon dominate the northeastern quadrant, while the drainage of Gyp Creek and Moore Creek underscores the importance of water management in this arid environment.
