About this map

Weatherford anchors this Parker County landscape, showcasing a city in transition as post-war development meets long-standing agricultural roots. The city's civic and educational heart is well-defined, featuring the Weatherford College campus, the Courthouse, and a network of neighborhood schools like Bowie Sch and Crockett Sch. Local culture is reflected in the presence of the Rodeo Ground, Chandor Gardens, and the Drive-in Theater on the western edge of town.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain is shaped by numerous numbered reservoirs, such as Res No 24 and Res No 27, supporting the region's ranching and homesteads. Smaller communities and rural landmarks like Peaster and Greenwood appear alongside family-named watercourses including Patton Branch and Johnson Branch. Genealogists will find value in the detailed locations of rural congregations like Zion Hill Ch and Shady Grove Ch, as well as the Greenwood Cemetery and Mt Carmel Cem.
