Morris County, Texas Map

Reading the Morris County map

The outline on this map is Morris County's legal boundary as published in the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files. At 254 square miles, the county is roughly the size of a square 16 miles on each side — small enough to cross in a short drive. Where the border is a ruler-straight line, it was set by survey; where it wiggles, it usually follows a river, creek or old land grant.

The red marker shows Daingerfield, 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.

Landscape of the East Texas

East Texas is the state's forested corner — the Piney Woods, red-clay hills, lakes and river bottoms that have more in common with the Deep South than with the open West. Timber, poultry, oil and gas, and growing retirement and lake communities shape its economy.
