2022 Map of De Kalb

About this map

De Kalb serves as the primary hub for this portion of Bowie County, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of country roads and farm-to-market routes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Red River, which forms the border with Oklahoma at Billy Hall Bend. A series of water bodies and drainages, including Hooks Bayou, Holly Creek, and Mud Creek, shape the low-lying terrain north of the town center. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial sites scattered across the rural countryside, from the Old De Kalb Cemetery near the heart of town to outlying locations such as Liberty Hill Cemetery and Oak Ridge Cemetery. This survey documents the modern layout of agricultural properties and man-made features like Malta Farm Lake and Anderson Lake, illustrating the ongoing relationship between local industry and the regional watershed.
