About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Texas landscape, where the waters of Lake Texoma reach into the creek-carved hills of Grayson and Cooke Counties. This territory is marked by small rural nodes such as Dexter, Sandusky, and Sturgeon, linked by a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Sycamore Cr, Rock Cr, and Red Br, which flow toward the primary river valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Shiloh Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the neighboring Bacon Cem and Newell Cem. The presence of the Safb Annex and various local lakes like Collums Lake, May Lake, and Williams Lake indicates a landscape shaped by both military utility and local water management. The map documents the intricate property lines and secondary roads that characterize this border region north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
