About this map

Tira and the neighboring rural communities of Birthright and New Birthright anchor this landscape in northern Hopkins County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Sulphur River and the eastern reaches of Cooper Lake, which dominate the western edge of the quadrangle. Numerous small watercourses, including Morgan Creek and Wolf Creek, drain the surrounding farmland, creating a dense network of creeks and branches that historically shaped local agriculture and land use.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Aiguier Cemetery, Rushing Cemetery, and Selt Cemetery. The map documents established rural clusters like Sandhill, Oakdale, and Hatchetville, connected by a web of Farm-to-Market roads and county lanes. These settlements, often situated near water sources like Acreage Slough or Logston Branch, illustrate the enduring pattern of small-town Texas life as it existed in the early 21st century.
