About this map

Fordyce serves as the central hub of this Dallas County landscape, where the town's street grid is flanked by the smaller communities of Thornton, Beech Grove, and Bucksnort. The area is characterized by an intricate network of timber-country creeks, including Cooks Cr, Champagnolle Cr, and Whitewater Cr, which drain the low-lying terrain into reservoirs like Lake Lansdale and Tri-County Lake. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial sites such as Oakland Cem, Barnes Cem, and Greenville Cem, providing a spatial record of family settlements across the county lines.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of major corridors like Bus 79 and Bus 167, which connect the residential blocks of Fordyce to the outlying rural roads. The inclusion of the Cleveland Co Dallas Co boundary at the northeastern corner highlights the region's administrative geography near Hurricane Cr. From the developed center of Fordyce to the quiet reaches of Clear Cr, this survey illustrates the modern layout of these historic timber-belt towns.
