2010 Map of Proffitt Crossing

About this map

Proffitt Crossing serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Young County, where the Brazos River winds through North Texas cattle country. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Elm Creek and Cribb Station Creek, that feed into the Brazos. This 2010 topographic record captures the area's transition into the 21st century, showing a mix of established farm-to-market roads and local routes that hint at the region's ranching heritage. Local history is etched into the names of many thoroughfares, such as Elbert Cemetery Rd and Mexican Spring Rd, reflecting old family ties and water sources that supported early settlers. Away from the riverbanks, smaller drainages like Bush Knob Creek and Boggy Creek carve subtle variations into the landscape, illustrating the hydrology of this semi-arid region.
