2016 Map of Hood

About this map

Myra and Hood anchor this rural landscape in Cooke County, where the upper reaches of the Elm Fork Trinity River carve through the north Texas prairie. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages including Brushy Elm Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Grasshopper Cr, which feed into the primary river system. This 2016 survey reflects the persistent agricultural character of the region, where a dense grid of county roads like Co RD 310 and Co RD 308 connects isolated farmsteads and historical community centers. Researchers focusing on family history can identify key local landmarks such as Reed Cem, Hood Cem, and Era Cem. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network, including FM 1198 and FM 1630, overlaid on a landscape that maintains its traditional livestock and farming roots, south of the local height of land at Norfleet Hollow.
