2013 Map of Muenster West

About this map

The settlement of Muenster serves as the focal point for this 2013 survey of Cooke County, Texas. This region is defined by the headwaters and drainage network of the Elm Fork Trinity River, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. North of the city, the landscape is marked by the prominent Devils Backbone ridge and the small settlement of Tyler Bluff. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where the rectilinear county road system, including Co Rd 433 and FM 2382, navigates around meandering watercourses like Brushy Elm Cr and Gibbons Br. This interplay between a rigid agricultural grid and the natural serpentine creek beds provides a detailed view of the rural north Texas geography at the start of the 2010s.
