2019 Map of Josephine

About this map

The town of Josephine sits at the intersection of rural development and agricultural tradition on this survey along the border of Collin Co and Hunt Co. This landscape is defined by the winding paths of Sabine Cr and Brushy Cr, which feed into local landmarks like Cooks Lake. The map details several communities including Nevada, Caddo Mills, and the northern reaches of Royse City, showing a dense network of county roads that replaced earlier pioneer trails. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as Prairie Grove Cem, McMinn Cem, Josephine Cem, and Needmore Cem. The presence of the Lonesome Dove Ranch and various farm-to-market roads like FM 547 illustrates the transition of this North Texas corridor from isolated farmsteads into a more connected suburban-rural hybrid.
