About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving the distinctive Bullock Bend near the boundary between Stonewall and Fisher Counties. This ranchland terrain is defined by rugged relief, where Poke Canyon and Gyp Cr have etched deep drainage patterns into the plains leading toward the Brazos. The map reveals a sparse but established network of rural roads, including Co RD 234 and Co RD 241, which connect isolated landmarks across the undulating prairie.

Genealogical interest is centered on several quiet locations that mark the area's social history. The Mount Zion Cem and El Ranchito Cem stand as enduring witnesses to the families who settled this part of West Texas. Rising above the drainage of Moore Cr, Poke Mtn serves as a primary geographic anchor for the quadrangle, overlooking a region where the land's character is still largely dictated by its natural watercourses and the cattle-raising economy.
