2010 Map of Grays Prairie

About this map

Grays Prairie serves as the primary community anchor in this part of Kaufman County, situated at the intersection of several farm-to-market roads. The landscape is defined by an extensive water management network, featuring multiple soil conservation dams and reservoirs like Coffee Lake and Vaughn Lake. These structures, identified by their specific site numbers such as Soil Conservation Service Site 70, indicate a period of significant drainage and land-use engineering designed to stabilize the local prairie terrain. Smaller rural settlements such as Lively and Stubbs appear along the south, connected by FM 148. The drainage pattern is driven by Kings Creek and Caney Creek, which flow through a region characterized by family-named landmarks like Wells Dam and the aviation strip at Erco Field.
