2019 Map of Gafford Chapel

About this map

Gafford Chapel and the outskirts of Sulphur Springs anchor this portion of Hopkins County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the White Oak Creek basin. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid of the county seat in the southeast to a rural network of county roads and meandering streams. Significant water features such as Lake Sulphur Springs and James R Beck Lake illustrate the area's water management and recreation patterns. The terrain is intricately carved by several named tributaries, including Metcalf Creek, Blacks Creek, and Horse Pen Creek, which flow through the rolling agricultural lands and wetlands. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of farm-to-market roads like FM 2285 alongside the established community centers that have shaped this north Texas region for generations.
