About this map

Stamford serves as the focal point of this Jones and Haskell County landscape, characterized by its gridiron street pattern and civic institutions like the United States Post Office. The town's cultural heritage is anchored by the Texas Cowboy Reunion Grounds, a landmark reflecting the region's ranching traditions. Water management is a defining feature of the area, with College Lake and Red Lake providing essential resources through structures such as the Brick Yard Lake Number 2 Dam and College Lake Dam.

Tracing the drainage patterns reveals a network of waterways including Paint Creek, Turkey Paint Creek, and California Creek that wind through the surrounding ranch and farm lands. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies both Stamford Cemetery and Highland Cemetery, while the detailed road network of farm-to-market roads like FM 1226 N and FM 2834 illustrates the connections between the urban center and the rural Texas plains.
