About this map

De Kalb sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, where the town’s grid is defined by streets like W Grizzly St and SE Front St. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition from the structured blocks of the town center to the expansive drainage basins of the north. Significant water features dominate the northern border, where the Red River carves the landscape near Billy Hall Bend, accompanied by a network of slow-moving water bodies including Hooks Bayou, Gunn Lake, and New Lake.

The rural surroundings are punctuated by family-named landmarks and local resting places, such as Woodman Cem, Harrell Cem, and Harris Cem. These sites, along with names like Clyde House Rd, provide valuable touchpoints for those researching local lineage and land ownership patterns. The map also records numerous smaller water features like Holly Cr, Mud Cr, and Malta Farm Lake, which define the agricultural and natural character of this Bowie County region.
