2024 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage serves as the central hub for this portion of Dallas County, where a grid of local streets including W Church St and S Main marks the small town center. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, primarily the winding path of Moro Creek and its many tributaries like Lawrence Moro Creek and Dyer Moro Creek. These streams create a complex drainage pattern through the low-lying terrain, flanked by numerous timber roads and trails such as Eagle Tram Rd and Tram Trl, which hint at the region's long-standing connection to the logging industry. To the southeast of the town center, Bethel Cem stands as a quiet marker of local history near the junction of Matthews Creek and several rural routes. The presence of a Po in Carthage anchors the community, while the surrounding area remains largely dominated by the natural flow of creeks like Tenmile Creek and Gum Creek.
