2016 Map of Wizard Wells

About this map

Wizard Wells and the surrounding ranchlands of the Jack and Wise County line are defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into Lake Bridgeport. The landscape is etched with historical markers, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as Wizard Wells Cem, Green Elm Cem, and Kilby Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Jasper Creek and Boons Creek, where local landmarks like Jim Ned Hill and the distinctive Devils Den rise above the basin. To the southeast, the residential development of Runaway Bay contrasts with the more traditional agricultural layout of Vineyard. The presence of these many small cemeteries suggests a deep-rooted genealogical record for the families who settled along the West Fork Trinity River and its tributaries.
