2016 Map of Birdwell Lake

About this map

Birdwell Lake and the surrounding drainage basins of eastern Texas are defined by a complex network of creeks and branches that feed into the local hydrology. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by timberland and rural development, where water bodies like Allison Lake and Wolf Creek dominate the geography. The presence of the Hopewell Cem serves as a central landmark for local genealogy, situated near the intersection of several county roads that replaced earlier pioneer paths. The terrain is intricately dissected by seasonal waterways such as Drunkards Br and Sevenmile Br, which indicate the natural flow of the watershed. Established transportation routes like FM 1746 and the Dogwood Trl provide the modern framework for this area, while smaller labels like Push Cr and Rush Cr mark the deep-seated local nomenclature of the Tyler County countryside.
