2013 Map of Mountain Springs

About this map

Ray Roberts Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Cooke County region, its sprawling shoreline reaching into the northern plains of North Texas. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential clusters near the Elm Fork Trinity River to the established agricultural and rural communities of Mountain Springs and Bloomfield. This 2013 survey provides essential data for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous historical burial grounds such as Mt Olive Cem, Walling Cem, and Bloomfield Cem that anchor these small settlements. Local infrastructure is marked by a network of farm-to-market roads and specialized sites like Tallwheel Acres Airport and the Melody Ranch Airport. Along the eastern edges of the lake, public lands including Johnson State Park and the Jacobs Oil Field reflect the dual legacy of recreation and resource extraction in the area.
