2016 Map of Josephine

About this map

Josephine and Nevada anchor the western portion of this 2016 survey, where the expanding suburban landscape of North Texas meets established rural farmland. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the south-flowing Sabine Cr, Couskin Cr, and Brushy Cr, which drain into the wider East Texas river basins. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, such as Prairie Grove Cem and McMinn Cem to the northwest, and Needmore Cem near the southern boundary. The map illustrates the contemporary transition of the region, featuring newer residential developments like Rolling Meadow Ln alongside large-scale operations such as Lonesome Dove Ranch. This intersection of traditional ranching and modern residential growth is particularly evident near the northern edges of Royse City and the approach to Caddo Mills at the eastern edge of the survey.
