2010 Map of Proffitt

About this map

The Brazos River winds through this rural Young County landscape, defining the local topography with prominent features like Deer Head Bluff and the low-lying Johnson Bottom. At the turn of the 21st century, the small settlement of Proffitt serves as the primary community anchor in the western portion of the map. The area is characterized by its network of watercourses, including California Creek and Post Oak Creek, which drain the surrounding plains. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Proffitt Cemetery and Woolfolk Cemetery, providing tangible links to the families who established themselves in this part of North Texas. A rise in the terrain at Round Mountain stands as a distinct marker overlooking the river valley, while a grid of rural roads like S Furr Rd and Wells East Rd connects the scattered homesteads and ranch lands.
