About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River carves a winding path through this portion of Throckmorton County, creating significant geological formations like the prominent Reynolds Bend and the sharp S Bend. This ranching landscape is defined by its water management and topography, featuring numerous livestock tanks such as Wildcat Tank, Clay Tank, and Camp Cooper Tank scattered among the draws and canyons. The terrain is marked by named elevations and depressions including Hittson Bluff, Buzzard Peak, and John House Canyon, reflecting a rugged country managed by established ranching operations.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and ranch burial sites, specifically Reynolds Bend Cem, Putnam Ranch Cem, and Treadwell Cem. Historical land use is suggested by descriptive place names like Bake Oven Flat and Lime Kiln Canyon, while the network of rural routes such as Mc Fadden Crossing Rd and Gentry Crossing Rd illustrates the long-standing connectivity between these isolated homesteads and pastures.
