About this map

The Trinity River serves as the dominant natural boundary on this map, separating Madison and Houston counties as it meanders through a landscape defined by significant water management and rural cemeteries. The presence of the Eastham Reservoir and Ferguson Reservoir Number 1 indicates the intensive hydrologic modification of the river's eastern floodplains. To the west, the settlement at Bald Prairie anchors a region of smaller creeks and branches, including Larrison Cr and Pine Br.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Falba Cem African American and Hopewell Cem particularly valuable for tracing local heritage. The southern boundary of the map follows the winding course of Bedias Cr, which marks the divide between Madison and Walker counties, illustrating how these natural watercourses have historically dictated political and property boundaries in this part of Texas.
