2016 Map of Post East

About this map

The Post townsite serves as the primary hub of this 2016 survey, where the street grid meets the high plains geography of Garza County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the N Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River to the north and a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Stink Cr, Sand Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr. This arid terrain is marked by numerous water tanks supporting local ranching, such as McKnob Tank and Turtle Tank. Cultural landmarks like the Terrace Cem and the Post-Garza County Municipal Airport illustrate the modern infrastructure of the area, while the smaller settlement of Augustus sits to the southeast along the primary roadway. The presence of Two Draw Lake near the western edge adds a rare permanent water feature to this high-elevation Texas landscape.
