1980 Map of Poetry

About this map

Poetry and the surrounding farmland on the Kaufman-Hunt county line are defined by a network of drainage creeks and rural landmarks in this 1980 survey. The landscape is carved by Greasy Creek and the South Fork Sabine River, which feeds into the western edge of Tawakoni Lake at Kitsee Inlet. This era shows a community in transition, with an extensive Aqueduct and Pipeline network crossing the terrain alongside remnants of older infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial sites, including the Henderson-Mosley Cem, Weaver Cem, and Campground Cem, the latter of which sits adjacent to Campground Ch. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the newly established New Terrell City Lake, illustrating the regional development of water resources during the late twentieth century.
