About this map

The southwest corner of Fannin County is anchored by the community of Leonard, where a grid of streets intersects the regional highway and rail corridors. Moving northeast, the terrain is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the S Sulphur River and Bois d'Arc Cr. The landscape is dotted with smaller settlements like Bailey and Randolph, while significant family and community heritage is preserved at Whiterock Cem and the Vaughn Family Cem.

Agricultural and transport patterns are evident in the numerous county roads and farm-to-market routes that traverse the drainage basins of Loring Cr and Mustang Cr. Local landmarks, including Snow Hill and the Grove Hill Airport, provide specific points of interest for those studying the mid-20th-century development of this rural Texas landscape. Small bodies of water such as Gilbert Lake and Pardue Lake suggest a history of local land management and water resources in the area.
