2016 Map of Ambrose

About this map

The Red River forms the northern boundary of this landscape where Grayson and Fannin counties meet the Oklahoma border. The area is defined by a dendritic network of waterways including Choctaw Creek, Sandy Cr, and Corneliason Cr, which carve through the terrain south of the river bluffs. Settlement patterns are tied to both historical transport and modern transit, with the community of Bells situated in the south and the smaller hamlet of Ambrose to the east. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, such as Cherry Mound Cem, Dugan Cem, and Isom Cem. Evidence of past infrastructure is visible in the Old RR Grade near the river, while the Skida Patch Airport indicates more recent local aviation activity. Larger water bodies like Stern Lake and Valley Lake provide significant landmarks among the agricultural and residential road networks.
