2019 Map of Muenster East

About this map

Muenster and Myra anchor the southwestern portion of this North Texas survey, where the rolling plains meet the drainages of the Trinity River watershed. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainages, notably Wolf Ridge and the dissecting valleys of Opossum Hollow and Black Hollow. A network of county roads provides access to rural homesteads and agricultural lands, crossing numerous watercourses such as Dry Elm Creek, Squirrel Cr, and Tonkawa Cr. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional ranching and aviation history, evidenced by the presence of the Dreamland Airport near Myra. Local heritage is preserved in quiet sites like Hayes Cem and Van Syke Cem, which serve as markers of the area's early settlement. This study of Cooke County captures a rural environment where infrastructure like FM 2739 and FM 1198 ties together scattered residences and the vital natural waterways that define the local geography.
