2022 Map of Polar

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River cuts across the northern reaches of this Kent County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by deep seasonal drainages and draws. This sparsely populated region is characterized by its network of intermittent waterways, including McKenzie Cr, Cooper Cr, and S Sage Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Local nomenclature preserves the history of early land use and settlement through descriptive terrain labels such as Schoolhouse Hollow, Shin Hollow, and Joe Smith Draw. Cultural landmarks are few, centered around the Polar Cem in the southwestern corner near FM 1142. The area is connected by a modest grid of rural routes like Co RD 316 and Co RD 348, which facilitate access across the open ranch land and through the high-plains topography.
