About this map

The southern outskirts of Gainesville and the surrounding Cooke County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Elm Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries. This 2010 survey shows a landscape where residential expansion meets established agricultural and conservation projects, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 61q Dam and Sarles Lake. The area's hydrology is complex, with Pecan Creek, Scott Creek, and Hackle Creek carving through the terrain towards the larger river system.

Rural landmarks like the Valley View Cemetery and Freedom Field anchor the community, while Terrapin Hill provides a distinct topographic point of interest. The map documents an extensive network of county roads, such as Co RD 301 and FM 1630, which weave through properties like Cook and various unnamed farmsteads. This detailed record captures the transition from the city's southern grid into the riparian corridors and open fields of North Texas.
