2022 Map of Corley

About this map

Sulphur River bottomlands define the southern landscape of this Bowie and Cass County borderland, where the river meanders through dense wetlands toward Wright Patman Lake. The settlement patterns here follow the higher ground of the interior, with small communities like Corley, Carbondale, and Old Union connected by a network of county roads. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Old Union Cem and Sherrill - Burnett Cem near the eastern margin. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Brooks Cr and Panther Cr drainages up toward White Oak Ridge, reflecting a landscape dedicated to timber and rural life. North of Carbondale, the landscape opens up toward Ashford Lake and Ashford Field, providing a clear view of the area's modern rural character.
