1984 Map of Carroll

About this map

The winding Neches River forms a jagged boundary between Van Zandt and Smith Counties in this mid-1980s Texas landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Big Sandy Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and Prairie Creek, which drain toward the river through an area primarily shaped by rural settlements and local industry. Small communities like Carroll and Horsley serve as focal points for the surrounding countryside, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates the extraction of local resources. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the Edom Corporate Bdy and the community of Midway mark the transition toward more concentrated township boundaries. Water features such as Butler Lake and Shiloh Lake dot the map, highlighting the reliance on local catchments in this part of East Texas.
