About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River flows through this North Texas landscape, defining the topography between the western edge of Muenster and the rugged elevation of the Devils Backbone. This 2022 survey captures the western rural expansion of the area, where the terrain is heavily dissected by numerous watercourses including Brushy Elm Cr, Gibbons Br, and Dry Elm Cr. The network of county roads reflects a traditional land-use pattern of ranching and agriculture, with large parcels such as those accessed by Powell Ranch Ln.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Bailey Cem preserved amidst the rolling hills north of the Elm Fork Trinity River. Further north, the high ground at Tyler Bluff overlooks the diverse drainage basins of Camp Cr and Fish Cr. The map details the transition from the organized street grid of Muenster, featuring Division St and Hillside Dr, into the more irregular rural tracts characteristic of the Montague and Cooke county border region.
