About this map

Honey Grove serves as the central hub for this 1947 survey, where the Texas and Pacific RR bisects the landscape and anchors the local economy. The map illustrates a dense network of rural infrastructure along the Fannin Co Lamar Co line, characterized by a high frequency of neighborhood-based institutions like Michigan Prairie School, Green Chapel Church, and Swan Chapel Rock Hill School.

North of the main rail line, Lake Crockett and Coffee Mill Lake provide distinct water features amidst a terrain carved by Bois d'Arc Creek and Sanders Creek. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-centric sites such as Allen Chapel Cem, Hickory Grove Cem, and McGalaston Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Allen Point, Tigertown, and Selfs that illustrate the post-war settlement pattern in northeast Texas.
