2022 Map of Hood

About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River winds through the northern portion of this Cooke County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by numerous tributary drainages such as Wildcat Cr and Brushy Elm Cr. This rural environment is anchored by the small settlements of Hood and Myra, which remain connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes. The presence of established burial grounds, including Hood Cem and Reed Cem, speaks to the long-term family lineages that have inhabited this prairie and creek-cut region. Further south, the map identifies landmarks like Norfleet Hollow and Duck Cr, while Cemetery Rd leads toward Era Cem at the southern edge. The distribution of these features highlights a community built around the cattle and agricultural potential of the North Texas plains, where water sources like Spring Cr and Flat Cr were essential for settlement development.
