2016 Map of Bridgeport East

About this map

The West Fork Trinity River carves a winding path through the center of this Wise County landscape, creating a broad drainage basin defined by numerous tributaries. North of the river, the protected environment of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland preserves the natural character of the terrain, while the residential streets of eastern Bridgeport occupy the western margin. This area reflects a long-standing agricultural and rural history, evidenced by the scattered distribution of family and community burial grounds such as Valley View Cem, Prescott Cem, and Paradise Cem. To the south, the settlement of Paradise sits at a crossroads of county roads and local transit, with the small landing strip at Teate Field serving as a local landmark. The map reveals how the landscape transition from the grassland to the river valley has influenced the placement of original farm-to-market roads and the development of the river-fed agricultural lands along Big Sandy Cr and Waggoner Br.
