About this map

The boundary between Titus Co and Morris Co defines the center of this rural landscape, which was primarily focused on agriculture and timber in the mid-1960s. The St Louis Southwestern railroad serves as the primary East-West corridor, connecting the settlements of Cookville and Omaha. These small communities, along with Lone Star to the north and Center Grove to the south, are anchored by numerous country churches and family burial grounds like Mt Moriah Ch, Kirby Cem, and Barrier Cem.

The terrain is intricately dissected by a network of waterways, including Boggy Creek, Sand Springs Branch, and Swauano Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. Distinctive landmarks such as Mt Mitchell and a localized Gravel Pit suggest the region's diverse geology and industrial activity. A dedicated Roadside Park along the highway near Cookville highlights the early infrastructure built for mid-century travelers passing through this part of Northeast Texas.
