2022 Map of South Bend

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this portion of Young County, creating a distinctive landscape of deep bends and elevated peaks. Near the northern reaches, Miller Bend sits tucked below the Belknap Mountains, where Beehive Mtn and Wolf Mtn rise above the river valley. The confluence with the Clear Fork Brazos River in the south defines the local geography, anchoring a network of family-named roads and landmarks. For those researching local families, the map identifies several critical burial sites, including Median Cem, Median Chapel Cem, and the Brooks Cem further north. This modern survey illustrates how long-standing ranching and rural infrastructure, such as the Rosser Ranch Airport, persist alongside the natural drainages of Kickapoo Cr and Jim Anderson Cr.
