2013 Map of Ethel

About this map

Ethel and Macomb stand as primary rural hubs in this portion of Grayson County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and intermittent creeks. This 2013 survey illustrates the area's ongoing reliance on petroleum extraction and aviation, evidenced by the Collinsville Oil Field, Mackay Oil Field, and Hester Oil Field scattered across the township lines. Private aviation is notably prominent with the presence of J-Bar Ranch Airport and Flying S Ranch Airport. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several local burial grounds, including the Ethel Cemetery, Macomb Cemetery, and Walthall Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Hog Creek and Case Creek provide a clear view of the natural topography that influenced early settlement and road placement in this North Texas region.
