About this map

The West Fork Trinity River winds through this Wise County landscape, defining the topography during the 1920s. Centered on the town of Boyd, the map reveals a community structured around the Chicago Rock Island and Gulf railroad and a network of rural schools. Small centers like Annaville, Aurora, and Keeter are connected by local roads that navigate around significant tributaries including Deep Creek, Salt Cr, and Hog Creek.

Notably, a large portion of the northern quadrangle is marked as an Unsurveyed Area, contrasting with the detailed topography of the river valley. For local historians and genealogists, the specific locations of the Arkansas Sch, Pleasant Grove Sch, and Stokes Sch provide essential markers for identifying early twentieth-century school districts and family settlements in the Texas backcountry before modern infrastructure altered the rural character.
