2019 Map of Saint Jo

About this map

St. Jo serves as the focal point of this North Texas landscape, where the upper reaches of the Elm Fork Trinity River begin their southward journey. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Gordon Mtn and the striking ridge known as Devils Backbone, creating a complex series of draws and gaps such as Deep Draw and Gordon Gap. The region's water management is evident through a series of numbered Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, integrated among natural drainages like Farmers Cr and Buck Br. Local history and genealogy are anchored by Fairview Cem to the north and McGrady Cem to the south, while Mountain Park and Katy Lake suggest a landscape developed for both agricultural utility and local recreation in Montague County.
