About this map

The Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the town of Greenwood sits at the junction of FM 51 and FM RD 730. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Clear Creek and Fannin Creek in the north, which carve through the countryside near the community of Rosston. This area serves as a significant crossroads for several north Texas counties, with the boundaries of Montague, Cooke, Denton, and Wise counties all converging within these few miles.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Tightwaad Air Ranch Airport near Prairie Point and the well-marked Bewley Cem and Moss Cem. The map reveals a transition from the structured farm-to-market roads like FM 922 and FM 455 to the more organic paths through Cove Hollow, showing how the hydrology of Harts Creek and Dixon Cr has historically dictated the placement of rural homesteads and transport routes.
