2019 Map of Selfs

About this map

The Caddo National Grassland dominates this portion of Fannin County, where the north Texas prairie meets the riparian corridors of several major creeks. Two significant water bodies, Coffee Mill Lake and Lake Crockett, serve as focal points for the landscape, surrounded by a dense network of county roads that link the small settlements of Selfs and Sash. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous burial grounds including Allen Chapel Cem, New Salem Cem, and Wilks Cem. These cemeteries, often located near watercourses like Honey Grove Cr and Sandy Cr, point to generations of family settlement in the area. The terrain is characterized by a complex drainage system where Bois d'Arc Cr and Spoonamore Cr carve through the grassland, illustrating the persistent agricultural and natural character of the region.
