2016 Map of Baker Lake

About this map

Larrison Cr and the winding course of the Trinity River define the topography where Walker, Madison, and Houston Counties meet. This 2016 survey shows a landscape dominated by timber and water management, featuring several significant impoundments including Eastham Reservoir and Ferguson Reservoir Number 1. The western portion of the map is marked by the small settlement of Bald Prairie and a network of county roads like Co RD 134 and FM 1428 that navigate the low-lying wetlands. Historically minded researchers can find Falba Cem situated near Cedar Cr in the southern section. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the region, from the wide expanse of Lake Livingston in the northeast to the smaller oxbow-style lakes like Marks Lake and Baker Lake. This survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure and water resources that have shaped this pocket of East Texas.
