About this map

Caddo National Grassland dominates the central landscape of this Fannin County survey, where the prairie meets the wooded creek bottoms of north Texas. The area is characterized by several significant water bodies, including Lake Crockett and the adjacent Coffee Mill Lake, which are fed by a complex drainage network of creeks such as Sandy Cr and Honey Grove Cr. Small rural settlements like Selfs and Sash serve as local anchors within a grid of county roads.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of several family and community burial sites. Five distinct cemeteries are noted throughout the terrain, including Vineyard Grove Cem, Allen Chapel Cem, Shiloh Cem, New Salem Cem, and Wilks Cem. These landmarks, along with the numerous named watercourses like Bois d'Arc Cr and Slough Cr, reveal a long-established pattern of rural land use and community structure in this corner of the state.
