About this map

The Trinity River defines the landscape of this region, winding through the convergence of Houston, Madison, and Walker counties. The river's floodplain is characterized by an intricate network of oxbow lakes and reservoirs, including Eastham Reservoir, Ford Lake, and Carson Lake. To the south, Bedias Cr forms the boundary between Madison and Walker counties, joined by tributaries such as Black Oak Br and Cedar Cr. This complex hydrology suggests a lowland environment subject to seasonal shifts and high water tables.

Evidence of local settlement is sparse, centered around Bald Prairie in the northwest and the Falba Cem further south. The transportation network relies on rural routes like FM 247 and FM 1428, connecting these small outposts. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, several named water bodies such as Lake Palomas, Lake Pividdie, and Ferguson Reservoir Number 1 indicate managed water resources or private land developments within the bottomlands.
