2019 Map of Ferris

About this map

Ferris and Wilmer anchor this landscape along the Dallas and Ellis county line, where the suburban reaches of Dallas meet the agricultural fields of north Texas. The area is defined by its transit corridors and water systems, with the Trinity River and Gravel Slough forming the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. Local aviation is centered at the Lancaster Regional Airport, while the region's long-term settlement history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Trinity Cem and the Old Cem near the heart of Ferris. Several waterways like Tenmile Cr and Bear Cr branch across the terrain, flowing toward the Trinity basin. This modern survey captures the distinct transition between the expanding municipal footprints of Hutchins and Lancaster and the traditional creek-side lands of the Red Oak area.
