About this map

Grays and DeView serve as central points in this Woodruff County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage and agricultural water management. The survey documents an area heavily shaped by its hydrology, from the meandering Cache River and Devils Neck in the northwest to the expansive Bayou De View system in the southeast. This lower section of the map reveals a series of distinct water bodies, including Broom Lake, Reddon Lake, and Lost Lake, nestled alongside Little Elam Lake and Big Elam Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family-named burial grounds distributed across the township, such as Martin Cemetery, Huff Cemetery, and Beard Cemetery. The presence of Hughes Landing Strip and Robertson Airport highlights the local reliance on aerial transport for agricultural or private use. Small settlements like Colona, Tip, and Bulltown anchor the grid of county roads, while Nubbin Ridge provides a rare point of named relief in an otherwise low-lying fluvial plain.
