1961 Map of Gunter

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad corridor defines the western edge of this North Texas landscape, passing through the town of Gunter. This 1961 survey provides a clear view of the rural communities and family burial grounds scattered across the Grayson and Collin County line. Small settlements such as Farmington and Elmont are visible, along with several local cemeteries like Hall Cem, Elliott Cem, and Warden Cem that offer important data points for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of the East Fork Trinity River and Squirrel Creek dominate the central terrain, which is also marked by several active Gravel Pits. Near the town center, the presence of a Home for the Aged and the nearby Gunter Lake indicate the localized social and physical infrastructure during the early 1960s.
