About this map

The agrarian landscape of western Erath County is defined by the headwaters of the South Fork North Bosque River and the winding course of Green Creek. This rural Texas region, centered on the community of Bunyan and the edges of Lingleville, is dotted with numerous small-scale water management projects, including Kiker Lake and several Soil Conservation Service dams. These features reflect a 20th-century focus on watershed management and soil preservation in the Texas Cross Timbers area.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved burial grounds across the quadrant, such as the East End Cemetery near Lingleville and the centrally located Corinth Cemetery. The map also captures the legacy of settlement through family-named landmarks like the Hickey Cemetery and the Ramsey Cemetery, while the road network, including FM 219 and the Old Stephenville Road, illustrates the historical connectivity between these farming outposts and the county seat.
