About this map

Maypearl and the smaller settlement of Griffith define the settled landscape of this North Texas region, situated along the county line where Ellis, Johnson, and Hill counties meet. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, most notably the three branches of Chambers Creek—the N Fork Chambers Cr, E Fork Chambers Cr, and S Fork Chambers Cr—which carve through the prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Ozro Cem, Jackson Cem, Auburn Cem, and Odom Cem. The map also reveals a surprising concentration of private aviation sites such as Chimera Aerodrome, Double A Airport, and Draggintail Acres Airport, reflecting the modern rural land use in this part of Texas. Hydrological features like Wilemon Lake and Island Creek further illustrate the drainage patterns essential to the local environment.
