1984 Map of Ben Wheeler
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Ben Wheeler and Edom anchor this rural Van Zandt County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of drainage and local water sources. The Neches River meanders across the northeast, fed by numerous tributaries including Sandy Creek, Browning Creek, and Madcot Branch. Small bodies of water like Rhine Lake, Mitchell Lake, and Shiloh Lake dot the terrain, suggesting a reliance on local reservoirs and springs such as Carter Spring. The presence of Bethlehem Ch and several labeled Cem sites provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracking family heritage in this part of East Texas. As a provisional map based on 1970s field checks, it preserves the mid-century road network and settlement patterns before modern expansion, capturing the area's agricultural and hydrologic character.
