About this map

Halesboro and Cunningham anchor this rural landscape in the northeastern corner of Texas, where the boundaries of Lamar, Red River, Delta, and Franklin counties converge. The area is defined by the hydrologic complex of the Sulphur River system, including the confluence of the North Sulphur River and the South Sulphur River. These waterways, along with tributaries like Bee Bayou and Little Sandy Creek, create a low-lying, often marshy terrain that has historically shaped local agricultural and settlement patterns.

Local history is preserved in small community landmarks such as Rugby and several family or church-related burial grounds, including Restland Cemetery and Morris Chapel Cemetery. The map illustrates a network of Farm to Market roads like FM 196 and FM 410 that link these isolated settlements. To the southeast, Dawson Lake sits near the McCrory Cemetery, marking a shift toward more permanent water features in this drainage basin.
