About this map

Greenwood sits at the southern edge of this North Texas survey, where the convergence of Harts Creek and Miller Creek defines the local topography. This 1961 field check captures a rural landscape characterized by a network of drainage systems like Gold Hollow and Fannin Creek that feed into the prominent Clear Creek valley. An unusual concentration of county boundaries meets here, with the intersection of Wise, Cooke, and Denton counties appearing near the eastern margin.

Small social centers such as Leo and Rosston are anchored by local institutions like Dixon Creek Church and the Community Church at Prairie Point. Genealogists will find the location of the Bealey Cem and other burial grounds essential for tracing family roots in this corner of the state. The appearance of an Oil Well and scattered Borrow Pits indicates the early industrial footprint of resource extraction amidst the rolling pastureland and creek beds.
