About this map

Polar and its surrounding ranchlands are defined by the winding course of the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River as it cuts through the Texas landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where named landforms like Joe Smith Draw, Home Draw, and Schoolhouse Hollow reflect the history of local settlement and land use. The map provides clear detail for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing the Polar Cem and established family holdings such as the Connell Ranch.

A network of drainage systems, including McKenzie Cr and Cooper Cr, feeds into the primary river fork, shaping the topography of the county. Man-made water features like Cogdell Ranch Lake are prominent, while the road system, including FM 1142 and various county roads, connects these rural outposts. The persistence of names like Shin Hollow suggests a deep-rooted connection between the families of this region and the specific character of their land.
