Montague County, Texas Map

Reading the Montague County map

The outline on this map is Montague County's legal boundary as published in the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files. At 931 square miles, the county is roughly the size of a square 31 miles on each side — a typical size for a Texas county. Straight survey lines on the map usually mark boundaries drawn by the legislature, while winding edges follow rivers and creeks.

The red marker shows Montague, the county seat, and the highlighted shapes in the schematic view are the bordering counties. Use the layer switcher to change between street, satellite and terrain backgrounds: satellite is best for seeing farmland and development patterns, while terrain shows hills, valleys and river corridors.
