2022 Map of Proffitt

About this map

The Brazos River meanders across this North Texas landscape, defining a terrain of broad bottoms and distinct elevations such as Deer Head Bluff and Round Mtn. This part of Young County is characterized by a network of drainage creeks, including Gibbens Cr, Whiskey Cr, and Post Oak Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. The map reveals a rural infrastructure of named ranch and farm roads like Wells East Rd and Gravel Pit Rd that link the small settlements of Proffitt and Newcastle. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Proffitt Cem and Woolfolk Cem, which mark the community's early established homesteads and burials near the bend of the river at Johnson Bottom.
