2013 Map of Saint Jo

About this map

Saint Jo serves as the focal point of this Montague County landscape, where the street grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares like Church St and Gould St. The surrounding terrain is shaped by the headwaters of the Elm Fork Trinity River, which is fed by numerous smaller tributaries including Buck Br and Farmers Cr. To the north, Gordon Mountain and the adjacent Gordon Gap provide significant topographic relief, overlooking a series of water management projects such as Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Fairview Cem and McGrady Cem particularly useful for tracing early settlers in this rural north Texas region. The map also documents the transition from open ranchland to more developed areas near Mtn Park and the waters of Katy Lake.
