About this map

The West Fork Trinity River and the sprawling waters of Lake Bridgeport define the landscape of Wise County in this 2010 survey. Industrial and infrastructure landmarks like the Lone Star Industries Dam and the Bridgeport Dam sit alongside the town of Bridgeport, while the Wesco Stone Spur railroad line cuts through the northern terrain, indicating the local reliance on stone and industry.

Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, including the Mexican Cemetery, Oldtown Cemetery, and East Mound Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Bowlin Mound, Carlisle Mound, and Brushy Mound, which stand out against the creek-carved plains of Ramsey Creek and North Fork Rush Creek. The settlement of Rickels and the Lake Bridgeport Youth Camp further reflect the community and recreational character of the area near the lake's eastern shore.
