About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the center of this 1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between San Jacinto, Trinity, and Polk counties. This survey captures a rural Texas river valley defined by its tributaries and scattered landmarks, including the historic location of the Patricks Ferry. Small community centers are marked by country churches and cemeteries, such as St Marys Ch and Patricks Cem, alongside the Pointblank School in the southwest.

Industry and transport patterns are visible through an Old Railroad Grade and a prominent pipeline cutting diagonally across the northern woods near Carlisle. The terrain is characterized by numerous named creeks like Palmetto Creek and Harts Creek, which feed into the main river channel. Elevation reaches its peak at Darby Hill, where the Derby Hill Ch and Pine Valley Ch served the surrounding local families before the landscape was altered by larger modern reservoirs.
