2012 Map of Stamford

About this map

Stamford serves as a prominent hub on the Rolling Plains, shown here during a period of sustained agricultural and cultural identity. The town's layout is centered around the Po and the historic Texas Cowboy Reunion Grounds on the western edge of the settlement, a site that reflects the region's deep ranching heritage. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal waterways, including the curiously named Stink Creek, Turkey Paint Creek, and the southern California Creek. These drainage patterns, alongside man-made features like College Lake and Red Lake, indicate the critical role of water management in this semi-arid environment. Family history and local heritage are anchored at Stamford Cemetery to the north and Highland Cemetery closer to the town center, providing essential points for genealogical research in Jones and Haskell Counties.
