About this map

The Sulphur River meanders across the southern border of this Northeast Texas landscape, defining a network of wetlands and sloughs including Big Slough and Cutoff Slough. The small settlements of Boxelder and Maple anchor the rural road system, while Harts Bluff overlooks the river bottomlands to the south. This area is characterized by its complex drainage, where Cuthand Cr and Maple Cr navigate the low-lying terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Evergreen Cem in the north near Heeltap Br, and trace family ties to local landmarks such as Stockbridge Knoll or Pigpen Knoll. Water management is evident in the southern reaches through the Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 5 and Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 6. The map details the transition from high ground to the alluvial plain, including numerous named branches like Sand Br and Kickapoo Cr.
