2019 Map of Tira

About this map

The South Sulphur River meanders across the northern reaches of this north Texas landscape, defining the boundary between Delta Co and Hopkins Co. Small agrarian settlements and family crossroads are scattered throughout the territory, linked by a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 71 and FM 1536. The town of Tira sits centrally near the Chuckster Airport, while further south, the communities of Birthright, Shirley, and Hatchetville anchor the local road system. Numerous watercourses, including Crosstimber Cr, Wolf Cr, and Vaden Cr, drain the terrain toward the river basin. For genealogists, the map reveals several historical burial sites, such as Alguier Cem, Selt Cem, and Rushing Cem, providing specific locations for ancestral research in this rural portion of the state.
