2010 Map of Ambrose

About this map

Red River frontage and the winding course of Choctaw Creek define this landscape north of Denison in 2010. The area is characterized by a network of rural settlements including Ambrose, South Gate, and Smith Oaks, connected by a web of local routes such as FM 1753 and Carpenters Bluff Rd. A series of water management sites are documented across the terrain, including Stern Lake Dam and several Soil Conservation Service structures like Site 32 Dam. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Cherry Mound Cemetery, Dugan Cemetery, and Isom Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Mill Creek, Sandy Creek, and Corneliason Creek illustrate the watershed feeding into Valley Lake in the southeast corner, reflecting the agricultural and conservation-focused layout of Grayson County during this period.
