2010 Map of Pilot Grove

About this map

Small rural communities and a sophisticated network of flood control structures define this pocket of North Texas in the early 21st century. The map centers on Pilot Grove and Desert, alongside smaller clusters at Cannon and Sedalia. The landscape is heavily managed by the Soil Conservation Service, which maintained numerous dams across the drainage basins of Pilot Grove Creek and its tributaries, including Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 38 Dam. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved, such as the Worden Cemetery in the north and the Desert Cemetery to the south. Transportation and aviation are represented by the Rowland R Airfield and the Tri-County Aerodrome, reflecting the region's low-density, agricultural character and continued reliance on local airstrips and farm-to-market roads like FM 2729.
