About this map

Gunter sits on the western edge of this landscape, where the headwaters of the East Fork Trinity River and several of its tributaries begin to carve the North Texas prairie. The 2010 environment is defined by a sophisticated system of water management, evidenced by the numerous Soil Conservation Service dams such as Site 35a Dam and Site 27 Dam scattered across the drainages of Squirrel Creek and Honey Creek.

Smaller rural communities like Elmont, Farmington, and Elm View anchor the surrounding townships, connected by a network of farm roads and county lanes. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, including the Hall Cemetery in the north and the Warden Cemetery to the southeast. The layout of the land reflects a transition from traditional agricultural use to more structured water conservation as these rural areas continue to evolve.
