2016 Map of De Kalb

About this map

The Red River defines the state boundary between Texas and Oklahoma in this 2016 survey, meandering through a landscape of oxbows and wetlands including Billy Hall Bend and Gunn Lake. South of the river, the terrain is shaped by Hooks Bayou and numerous small water bodies such as Hatchel Lake and Blackman Lake Number 1. This corner of Bowie County is primarily rural, with a network of farm roads like Farm Market 2735 and Daniels Chapel Rd connecting scattered family cemeteries. Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as Woodman Cem, Harrell Cem, and Harris Cem. The southern portion of the sheet shows the edge of a more structured settlement pattern, featuring streets like NW Martin Luther King Dr and W Front St, indicating the northern reaches of De Kalb's residential and commercial core.
