About this map

Agricultural and petroleum interests define this Cooke County landscape, where the settlement of Myra sits near the northern boundary. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems including Duck Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Grasshopper Creek, which feed into numerous soil conservation reservoirs. Significant infrastructure related to land management is evident through several Soil Conservation Service sites, which mitigate the seasonal flow of these northern Texas waterways.

Energy production is a central theme of this 2010 survey, marked by the presence of the Brewer Oil Field, Gruber Oil Field, and Ellenburger Oil Field. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Hood Cemetery, Reed Cemetery, and Era Cemetery, which provide essential reference points for the area's rural communities. The map also records the extensive network of county and farm-to-market roads, such as FM 1198 and FM 1630, that connect these isolated oil fields and family farms.
