2019 Map of Corley

About this map

Wright Patman Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the southern reaches of this landscape along the border of Bowie and Cass counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small tributaries like Panther Cr, Rice Cr, and Moss Cr that drain into the larger reservoir. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the northern transport corridors, where the small community of Corley sits at a junction near Crystal Springs Lake. This late 2010s survey shows a rural environment where land use is split between aviation at Ashford Field, logging operations, and quiet homesteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, including Old Union Cem, Berry Cem, and Kirby Cem, which are tucked away near established settlements like Old Union and Carbondale.
