About this map

Cumby sits at the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the convergence of Hunt and Hopkins counties creates a complex network of rural boundaries. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Sulphur River and the branching reaches of White Oak Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and transportation routes.

For family historians, the area is notably rich in burial sites, ranging from the Mount Zion and Oakland cemeteries to the Pleasant Grove Cemetery further east. The small communities of Ridgeway and Emblem are interconnected by a dense grid of county roads, including Old Paradise Road, reflecting a long history of agricultural settlement. The presence of numerous small cemeteries suggests a deeply rooted local heritage centered around these rural crossroads and watercourses.
