2010 Map of Poetry

About this map

Poetry and the surrounding Hunt County countryside appear here in a period of rural character punctuated by established family burial grounds and small-scale aviation. The landscape is defined by the South Fork Sabine River and its tributaries, including Greasy Creek and Walnut Creek. Cultural history is anchored by numerous cemeteries such as Campground Cemetery, Henderson Mosley Cemetery, and Weaver Cemetery, which serve as vital points for genealogical research in this part of Texas. In the south, the New Terrell City Lake provides a significant water feature, while the northern reaches include the Phillips Flying Ranch Airport. The map also captures the northeastern edge of Lake Tawakoni Kitsee Inlet, showing how the local road network, including the curiously named Hanging Tree Rd, navigates the rolling terrain between these drainages.
