2010 Map of Tin Top

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic loop at Horseshoe Bend as it snakes toward the upper reaches of Lake Granbury. This landscape is defined by the river’s winding course, featuring the Tin Top Suspension Bridge and Hightower Bridge which provide critical crossings near the settlement of Tin Top. The geography is shaped by distinctive landmarks like Milliken Bluff, Conway Bluff, and Nebo Mountain, while the alluvial flats of Blair Valley and Hightower Valley suggest the region's agricultural history. Genealogists can find several burial sites including Horseshoe Bend Cemetery, Herring Cemetery, and Fairview Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the rural communities of Fairview and Center Mill. Further south, the map details the transition into more developed areas around Lake Granbury, including several dams like the Black Lake Dam.
