About this map

The settlement of Oak Grove sits at the center of this 2010 survey, anchoring a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes in Bowie County. The landscape is defined by its water systems, notably Elkins Lake with the engineered Elkins Lake Dam and the winding course of Hooks Bayou in the northeast. This area of East Texas exhibits a dispersed rural residential pattern, with small communities like Spring Hill and Pine Springs connected by routes such as FM 114 and FM 1326.

Family and community history are preserved in several locations, including the Garland Cemetery near Garland and the De Kalb Cemetery on the outskirts of De Kalb. Numerous small creeks, including Mill Creek, Mud Creek, and Tanyard Creek, cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the region. The map provides a precise record of rural property access via an extensive grid of county roads, which is invaluable for those tracing specific landholdings or family sites in the early 21st century.
