2013 Map of Era

About this map

The community of Era serves as the focal point for this rural North Texas landscape, where the prairie is deeply etched by a network of creeks including Clear Cr, Duck Cr, and Grasshopper Cr. The land use is defined by a combination of traditional ranching and a modern aviation culture, evidenced by a dense concentration of private airstrips such as Akroville Airport, Ruby Field Airport, and the Edgington Ranch Airport. Energy extraction also marks the terrain via the Bundy Oil Field and Bolivar Oil Field. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several small burial grounds, including Cogburn Cem, Moss Cem, Gregory Cem, and Knox Cem. Geologic features like The Backbone and Norfleet Hollow provide distinctive landmarks among the drainages of Cannon Cr and Mill Br.
