2022 Map of Dodd City

About this map

Dodd City and the surrounding Fannin County landscape are defined by a dense network of family-named burial grounds and seasonal drainage creeks. This rural corridor between Lannius and Windom reveals a settlement pattern tied to the fertile prairie, where small communities like Cotton Center and Hail grew up alongside tributaries such as Bullard Cr and Sloans Cr. The numerous small cemeteries, including Beasley Vault Cem and the Chesson Family Cem, suggest a history of private family landholdings and early homesteads that have persisted through generations. Major transport routes like E Sam Rayburn Dr and W Sam Rayburn Rd anchor the modern geography, following the traditional east-west paths through the county, while the winding course of Powder Cr and Long Br trace the natural contours of the northern Texas terrain.
