About this map

De Kalb serves as the primary hub in this corner of Bowie County, where residential streets meet rural roads leading into a landscape shaped by the Red River. The northern boundary is defined by the winding course of the river, featuring the prominent Billy Hall Bend and the meandering Hooks Bayou. This transition from the structured grid of the town to the alluvial bottomlands illustrates the area's agricultural and hydrological character.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, including De Kalb Cemetery, Woodman Cemetery, Harrell Cemetery, and Harris Cemetery, providing spatial context for family research. The terrain is dotted with small reservoirs and managed water bodies like Malta Farm Lake, Hatchel Lake, and Anderson Lake, many supported by infrastructure such as Blackman Dam Number 1. A network of Farm to Market roads, including Farm Market 2735 and FM 992, connects these outlying properties back to the town center.
