2012 Map of Tin Top

About this map

The Brazos River meanders sharply through this landscape, creating dramatic oxbows and geography like Campbell Island and Blair Valley. In the early 21st century, this section of Hood County shows a blend of rural ranching heritage and growing lakeside residential development. The northern reach of Lake Granbury dominates the southwestern quadrant, where numerous private drives and landings have emerged near Robinson Cr. Historical infrastructure remains visible through the Tin Top Suspension Bridge and Hightower Bridge, which facilitate travel across the deep river bends. Genealogists can locate family sites at several burial grounds including Fairview Cem, Herring Cem, and Horseshoe Bend Cem. The map also identifies the community of Tin Top and the site of Center Mill, while small airstrips like Horseshoe Bend Airport and Driftwood Ranch Airport serve the local riverfront communities.
