1961 Map of Hood

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a valley where the Gatewood Oil Field and Brewer Oil Field indicate the era's active petroleum extraction. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural Cooke County environment defined by small settlements like Hood and Myra, and the prominent traces of an Old Railroad Grade running near Tonkawa. The distribution of family and community spaces is marked by the Hood Cem, Reed Cem, and Era Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Grasshopper Creek, Duck Creek, and Spring Creek, which feed into the larger river basin. To the south, the Ellenburger Field and Gruber Oil Field highlight the extent of the local oil economy, while the transition from river bottoms to the Era Flat Creek upland illustrates the traditional land use patterns of north Texas.
