About this map

Alvord serves as the central hub of this North Texas landscape, where a network of rural routes like FM 1655 and FM 1810 converge near the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by scattered family and community burial grounds such as Jonestown Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Hopewell Cem.

Natural drainage patterns define the surrounding terrain, with the waters of Big Sandy Cr and its tributaries, including Mudhole Br and Walker Br, carving through the countryside. To the northwest, Dry Hollow and Chicken Cr add character to the topography. Small aviation landmarks like Vance Field and Spectre Field are also noted, providing evidence of local infrastructure in this part of Wise County.
