About this map

Blackfoot Oil Field anchors the central landscape of this East Texas region, indicating the area's continued reliance on petroleum extraction. Small rural settlements like Blackfoot, Bois d'Arc, and Ward are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a dense network of county roads such as Co RD 461 and FM 837. These communities represent the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of Anderson County, where family-named landmarks like Miller Rd intersect with natural drainage systems.

Water plays a significant role in defining the local geography, with Catfish Cr winding along the western boundary and Beaver Cr cutting through the southern reaches. Cultural and recreational sites are preserved here as well, including the Liberty Cem near Bradford and the Camp Bette Perot facility in the southeast. The mix of resource industry and rural living is evident in the proximity of active oil operations to established cemeteries like Providence Cem, documenting both the economic and genealogical history of the landscape.
