About this map

Gunsight sits at the western edge of this landscape where the drainage systems of Gunsolus Cr and Colony Cr diverge. This area of North Central Texas is defined by its prominent relief, featuring a series of named peaks including Gunsight Mtn, Bald Mtn, and Maxwell Mtn. These elevations dictate the winding paths of the local road network, where routes like FM 1852 and Co RD 154 navigate around the high ground.

The boundary between Stephens Co and Eastland Co cuts across the southern portion of the map, marking a transition in local jurisdiction. Water resources are central to the terrain, with Lake Daniel positioned in the northwest and Gibson Lake to the southeast. Genealogists and local historians will find the Acker Cem located near the intersection of several county roads, serving as a quiet landmark amidst the forks of the Gunsolus and Colony creeks.
