2017 Map of Sparkman

About this map

Sparkman sits at the heart of this Dallas County landscape, where the local street grid including W Main St and N Railroad Ave meets the surrounding timberlands. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Holeman Cem in the north and Mount Carmel Cem near Pine Grove to the south. These sites, along with Harmony Church Cem and Old New Hope Cem, suggest a deeply rooted rural society centered around small church communities and crossroads like New Hope. The terrain is etched by numerous small watercourses including Brushy Cr, Cypress Cr, and Horse Br, which dictate the placement of roads and the boundaries of early land partitions.
