About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this North Texas landscape, where several small communities are situated among a complex network of creeks. Small settlements like Ambrose, Gover, and Bona are connected by a grid of rural roads, including FM-1753 and Middle Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Cherry Mound Cem, Isom Cem, and Dugan Cem.

South of the river, the terrain is drained by numerous tributaries including Choctaw Cr and Smith Cr. The southern portion of the area features Valley Lake and the Skida Patch Airport, illustrating the mixture of aviation and water resources in this part of Grayson County. Other named locales like Terrace, Penland, and Smith Oaks provide specific points of reference for tracing family homesteads or the historical development of these rural Texas townships.
