2017 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage serves as the central hub for this portion of Dallas County, where the street grid of W Church St and S Patillo St meets the rural road network. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system including Moro Cr, Gum Cr, and Matthews Cr, which carve through the timberlands. Local history is anchored at Bethel Cem southeast of the town center. The area's transit and industrial past is hinted at by the presence of Eagle Tram Rd and Tram Trl, following the routes of former logging or railroad spurs that once facilitated the local timber economy. This modern survey detail shows the convergence of traditional county routes like Banks Springs Rd with contemporary bypass infrastructure, illustrating how the rural community has adapted its layout over the decades.
