About this map

Jacksboro serves as the focal point of this North Texas survey, positioned where the watershed of Lost Creek meets the northern reaches of the West Fork Keechi Creek drainage. The landscape is defined by its transition from the town's grid to a network of rural roads such as Wesley Chapel Road and Sand Flat Road, reflecting a long history of ranching and early settlement. Notable landmarks include the Fort Richardson Spring and Park Spring, which highlight the area's natural water sources that once sustained frontier travelers.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery near the city center and the more remote Dark Corner Cemetery to the west. The area's modernization is represented by the Jacksboro Municipal Airport and the expansive Lost Creek Reservoir, while the presence of College Hill speaks to the town's established social infrastructure. This survey effectively documents the intersection of historical family-named landmarks and contemporary conservation sites like the Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Reservoir.
