About this map

Boonsville and Balsora sit at the heart of this North Texas survey, where the landscape is defined by the early development of the Boonsville Gas Field. Numerous oil and gas wells dot the terrain, linked by an emerging network of pipelines. The area's older transportation history is visible in the remnants of the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade that cut across the western and northern sections of the map.

A network of local creeks, including Garrett Creek, Willow Creek, and Salt Creek, provides the natural drainage for this rolling countryside. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several rural burial grounds such as Bethel Cem, Gillie Cem, and Friendship Cem, alongside local landmarks like Grindview Church. The border between Wise and Parker counties runs across the southern portion of the sheet, dividing these rural communities.
