2010 Map of Polar

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves through this West Texas landscape, defining a region where cattle ranching and deep-rooted family operations dominate the terrain. At the heart of the area, the small community of Polar is anchored by the Polar Cemetery, a site of significant interest for genealogists tracing early settlers of Kent County. The map details the transition from high plains to the breaks of the river, revealing how local hydrology—evidenced by named features like McKenzie Creek and Joe Smith Draw—governs the layout of ranching boundaries and rural roads. Large-scale landholdings such as Connell Ranch and the water source at Cogdell Ranch Lake highlight the continued importance of water management and private estate history in this part of the state. The network of county roads, including Co RD 350 and FM 1142, provides the primary framework for navigating this sparsely populated and wide-open ranching country.
