2019 Map of Era

About this map

The small settlement of Era serves as the focal point of this North Texas landscape, situated along the boundary where the northern edge of Denton County meets southern Cooke County. The terrain is defined by a series of branching waterways, including Clear Creek, Flat Creek, and Buck Cr, which carve through the countryside to create prominent landforms like The Backbone. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment characterized by a network of private airstrips, such as the Flying D Ranch Airport and Edgington Ranch Airport, alongside several historic burial grounds including Cogburn Cem, Moss Cem, and Knox Cem. The map illustrates a contemporary rural economy where modern aviation and ranching interests coexist with long-established family homesteads and traditional county roads.
