2019 Map of Gunter

About this map

Gunter serves as a central hub in this modern survey of the North Texas landscape, situated where the high prairies of Grayson County meet the northern edge of Collin County. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several significant drainage systems, including the E Fork Trinity River and W Prong Whites Cr. These waterways cut through a transition from established agricultural lands to increasing residential development, seen in the newer street networks of Anna and Howe. For those investigating family history, the map preserves the locations of several smaller burial grounds such as Hall Cem, Smallwood Cem, and Forbis Cem, which remain as physical markers of the area's rural heritage. The settlement patterns of Farmington and Elmont reflect the long-standing communities that have persisted along these creek forks for generations.
