About this map

The community of Minter and its nearby Minter Post Office serve as a central point in this rural Dallas County landscape, where the meandering course of Cedar Creek and its many tributaries like Snake Creek and Hills Creek define the geography. The map provides a detailed look at the local settlement patterns of the early 21st century, particularly through the distribution of family and community burial grounds such as McColough Cemetery, Purefoy Cemetery, and Soles Cemetery.

South of the main settlement area, the small community of Furman sits near the lower boundary, while Nixson Hall and Farmersville anchor the eastern portions of the sheet. The local infrastructure is dominated by county roads and water management features, including the Thomas Norris Dam and R Cullpepper Dam, which control the flow of several creeks across the rolling terrain. Genealogists will find particular value in the presence of both the Snow Hill Cemetery and the Old Snow Hill Cemetery, suggesting multiple generations of local history preserved in the land.
