About this map

Clear Fork Brazos River carves a deep, serpentine path through this Throckmorton County landscape, defining the local geography with its many loops and crossings. The area around Reynolds Bend reveals a ranching and rural economy punctuated by family landmarks and early Texas history. Remnants of former habitation are visible through labels for Indian Village Ruins and Tecumseh Ruins, while the presence of the Treadwell Cem and Reynolds Bend Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlers.

River crossings like Hayford Crossing, Gentry Crossing, and Bartholomew Crossing indicate the historic importance of the river for local transit. The topography is marked by distinctive features such as Bake Oven Flat and Hittson Bluff, while the burgeoning energy sector of the mid-1960s is represented by an active Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern and eastern portions of the sheet.
