2019 Map of Muenster West

About this map

Muenster and its western rural hinterlands are depicted at the edge of the Montague and Cooke County line. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Elm Fork Trinity River, which drains the rolling plains and provides a network of creeks including Gibbons Br, Brushy Elm Cr, and Bingham Cr. The terrain is punctuated by the Devils Backbone, a prominent topographical feature rising above the surrounding valleys. Small settlements like Tyler Bluff are connected by a grid of county roads and the primary corridor of Route 82. This map illustrates the transition from the structured street plan of Muenster to the expansive ranching and agricultural lands to the west, showing how the natural drainage of Dry Elm Cr and Squirrel Cr has influenced land use and property boundaries in this part of North Texas.
