About this map

Bedias Creek and its many tributaries, including South Bedias Creek and Black Oak Branch, define this low-lying stretch of Walker County. The landscape is heavily shaped by water management and rural ranching, featuring numerous impoundments such as Eastham Reservoir, Ferguson Reservoir Number 1, and the sprawling Livingston Reservoir along the eastern edge. This area is also home to the Eastham State Prison Farm, a significant institutional footprint in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Local history is preserved at the Falba Cemetery near the banks of Cedar Creek, while named settlements like Bald Prairie and the Bar O Ranch indicate the agricultural character of the region. A network of secondary roads, including FM 247 and FM 1428, connects isolated water bodies like Baker Lake, Marks Lake, and Moten Lake, providing a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns in east Texas.
