About this map

The Wichita River meanders across this rural expanse of Knox County, where the convergence of the N Wichita River and S Wichita River defines the local drainage pattern. This landscape is a patchwork of ranch roads and remote watercourses, including the winding Soap Cr and Crooked Cr. The map captures a primarily agricultural region structured by a grid of rural routes such as Arledge Rd and Self Rd, reflecting the long-standing land divisions of North Texas.

Genealogists will find a specific point of interest in the southeastern corner at Henson Cem, one of the few named landmarks signifying historical settlement in this sparsely populated area. The presence of Peacock Lake and small drainages like Rose Hollow Cr illustrate the vital role of water management in this environment. The network of Farm to Market roads, including FM-1919 and FM-2069, highlights the infrastructure supporting the local rural economy.
