2016 Map of Callisburg

About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Cooke County landscape, marking the transition between Oklahoma and Texas. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Rock Creek, Wheeler Creek, and Hickory Creek, which flow toward the larger river basin. While the southern edge is dominated by the outskirts of Gainesville, the rural character of the region is preserved through small settlements like Callisburg and Oak Ridge. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Center Hill Cemetery and Nelson Grove Cemetery. The presence of Three Acres Airport and the damming at Lake Dealey illustrate the intersection of private land use and local water management within this agricultural and residential corridor.
