Google Map of The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is located on Texas Highway 114 on the dividing line in-between the towns of Boyd and Aurora in Wise County. We do not have a typical street address that can be accurately input or tracked via any of the popular online mapping resources. We strongly suggest you use a hardcopy map to get the best bearing for our location. 81/287 is a major thoroughfare that runs north out of Fort Worth. 81/287 intersects Highway 114 in Rhome, TX (approx. 13 miles south of the city Decatur.) The Sanctuary is three miles west of the intersection of 81/287 and 114 as you travel west towards Bridgeport on 114.

Driving Directions provided by Google appear to be the most accurate of all the online mapping resources at this junction but likewise we've seen them go from great to blatently incorrect as Texas Highway 114 expands to a divided road and seemingly more businesses and developments request accurate tracking information. The cats, bears and humans at the Sanctuary strongly suggest you use a hardcopy map to pinpoint where 114 intersects 81/287....the IEAS is three miles west of that intersection on the north side of 114.
