About this map

The settlement of Era sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned along the intersection of FM 922 and Bolivar Rd. This portion of North Texas is characterized by a high density of private airfields and rural family cemeteries, tracing a history of ranching and early settlement patterns. Several landing strips, including Flying R Ranch Airport, Edgington Ranch Airport, and Akroville Airport, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the modern utility of the flatlands and prairie ridges.

Natural landmarks like Norfleet Hollow and The Backbone break the gentle topography, while a network of drainage systems such as Clear Creek, Duck Cr, and Grasshopper Cr define the local watershed. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the ranch lands, including Cogburn Cem, Moss Cem, Gregory Cem, and Knox Cem. The map also clearly delineates the border between Cooke Co and Denton Co, illustrating how local roads like Gregory Rd and Pollard Rd bridge the county line.
