About this map

Celeste and Kingston serve as the primary hubs of this North Texas landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the upper reaches of several vital waterways. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the S Sulphur River and the Cowleech Fork Sabine River, which carve distinct paths through the rolling acreage along the border of Fannin and Hunt counties. The drainage network is particularly dense here, including Mustang Cr, Hickory Cr, and Tidwell Cr, illustrating the hydrology that has supported ranching and farming in this region for generations.

Local history is anchored by three prominent burial grounds: Nicholson Cem, Celeste Cem, and Kingston Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists researching early settlement families. The map also records the periphery of Leonard in the northwest, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes that trace the section lines and riparian corridors of the Texas Blackland Prairies.
