About this map

The town of Whitesboro serves as the central hub of this North Texas survey, where the convergence of several major routes dictates the local geography. To the north and west, the landscape is defined by the extraction economy, featuring numerous named drilling areas including the Kimbell Sims Oil Field, Whitesboro Oil Field, and West Sandusky Oil Field. These sites illustrate the region's long-standing reliance on the petroleum industry, which exists alongside scattered rural settlements like Balm, Dixie, and Theodore.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers throughout the territory, from the Liberty Hill Cem in the north to the Akers Cem and Whitesboro Cem near the town center. The drainage of the land follows several branches of the Big Mineral Cr and Sandy Cr, which carve through the plains. Small-scale aviation is also present, marked by private facilities such as Three Acres Airport and Flying H Ranch Airport.
