2019 Map of Dexter

About this map

Dexter anchors this North Texas landscape, situated near the transition from the rolling terrain of northern Cooke Co to the plains of Grayson Co. This 2019 survey captures the rural character of the region south of the Red River valley, where small agricultural communities like Sturgeon and Sandusky persist along a network of county roads. The map provides a critical record for genealogists, as it identifies several family and community burial grounds including Shiloh Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Johnson Cem. To the northeast, the presence of Lake Texoma and its surrounding tributaries like Sycamore Creek and Paw Paw Creek indicates the importance of water management and recreation in this borderlands environment. The terrain is further defined by various branches and creeks, such as N Br Brushy Cr and Walnut Cr, which carve through the farmsteads and ranch lands of this quiet corner of the Texas-Oklahoma border.
