About this map

The White River serpentine course dominates this 2017 survey, carving a complex landscape of oxbows and bends along the border of White and Woodruff counties. This riverine environment is defined by its numerous named reaches and points, such as Sassafras Reach and Panther Point, which illustrate the dynamic nature of the delta lowlands. The area's hydrology is further complicated by a dense network of sloughs and lakes, including the distinctive Big Green Tom Lake and Little Green Tom Lake.

Settlement patterns are sparse and clustered away from the immediate floodplains, anchored by the small communities of Worden and Rio Vista. Local history and genealogy can be traced to landmarks like Smith Cem near the northern edge of the map. Navigation and recreation are evident along the waterway at Taylor Bay Beach and through the Augusta Narrows, while the rural road network, featuring routes like Walker Lake Rd and Murphy Lake Rd, provides access to the interior wetlands and agricultural tracts.
