2010 Map of Whitewright

About this map

The agrarian communities of Whitewright and Bells anchor this portion of Grayson County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of secondary roads and numerous conservation sites managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Small settlements like Kentucky Town and Tom Bean reflect the region's historic rural layout, supported by a web of local routes such as Rochell Cannon Rd and Yowell Hill Rd. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways, including Bois d'Arc Creek and Pilot Grove Creek, which are punctuated by a series of Soil Conservation Service dams and reservoirs like Valley Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Vittitoe, Rosehill, and Washburn burial grounds, providing a precise look at the local history of these East Texas townships.
