2010 Map of Wizard Wells

About this map

Wizard Wells and the surrounding terrain of Wise County are defined by the intricate shoreline of Lake Bridgeport and the waters of the West Fork Trinity River. This early 21st-century landscape shows a mix of rural crossroads like Vineyard and the developed waterfront community of Runaway Bay. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial sites, including the Green Elm Cemetery, Morrow Cemetery, and Kilby Cemetery, reflecting the long-standing family roots in this corner of North Texas. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Bear Knob and Jim Ned Hill, which overlook various drainages like Beans Creek and Jasper Creek. The map documents the modern road network, from FM 1156 to quiet tracks like Boy Scout Rd, tracing the transition from historic farmstead lands to recreational lakeside living.
