Awesome thanks for all the information!Welcome to Texas & Ellis County
Since your new to the area, I would suggest picking up one of the Roads of Texas map books, so you can get familiar with the roads in our area & thru out the state.
Map Books are a bit old school (but can be be used to plan way points on gps if your into that type of riding), I've used them to get a good idea the different types of roads for planning a short day ride or a long multi-day ride and at end of my rides, I highlight the routes taken, so I can keep track of roads I've been on & and explore new routes.
Here's a description & link to a few of them:
The Roads of Texas - maps all the roads, from interstates to county roads to dirt roads and contains extensive indexing. No other atlas, either online or printed, contains the county roads, back roads, dirt roads, creeks and waterways, parks, lake and river access, pipelines, transmission lines, cemeteries and other landmarks that appear in The Roads of Texas. You will also find pages and pages of little-known facts and trivia on this great state as well as festival information and Texas historical tidbits.
