About this map

Caughorn Prairie spreads across the western portion of this 2012 survey, defining the landscape of Bowie County. Small communities and named crossroads such as Hodgson, New Hope, Tuckers Corner, and Hubbard serve as the primary human focal points in a region dominated by a complex network of creeks. To the northeast, De Kalb Lake provides a significant water feature near the drainage of Anderson Cr.

The map reveals a deeply etched watershed where numerous small tributaries like Blythe Cr, Cooper Cr, and Ward Cr weave through the terrain. The road network consists primarily of county routes and farm-to-market roads, such as FM-3165 and FM-44, which link these rural settlements and follow the subtle rises between creek bottoms. This detailed topograhic study is an excellent resource for understanding the contemporary rural layout of the region, where legacy names of prairies and small corners persist alongside modern infrastructure.
