About this map

The West Fork Trinity River carves a path through this section of Wise County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a series of family and community burial grounds. Residents and researchers will find several notable local landmarks including the Boyd Cem and Arkansas Cem near Boyd, alongside the Aurora Cem to the east. These sites, along with others like Stokes Cem and Pope Cem, provide a spatial record of the area's ancestral heritage.

Infrastructure is dominated by the BNSF Railway, which cuts through the town center of Boyd, while the southern reaches of the map show the encroaching waters of Eagle Mountain Lake. The transition from the river bottomlands to the surrounding plateaus is marked by numerous seasonal drainages such as Deep Creek, Blue Cr, and Hog Br, which define the topography near the settlements of Aurora, Keeter, and Briar.
