2022 Map of Gibtown

About this map

Gibtown and Joplin anchor this rural landscape in Jack County, where the terrain transitions from the heights of Armstrong Mtn and Wampler Hill into a network of creek drainages. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Fairview Cem, Westbrook Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this part of North Texas. These sites are linked by a dense web of ranch roads such as Henderson Ranch Rd and Beitel Ranch Rd, tracing the legacy of local landholdings. Waterways like Boons Cr and Jasper Cr carve through the topography, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and grazing lands across this tri-county border region where Jack, Wise, and Parker counties meet.
