About this map

Cartwright and its surrounding Wood County countryside are defined by a complex network of small tributaries and rural road systems. The landscape is etched by the meandering courses of Big Sandy Cr, Buck Cr, and Turkey Cr, which feed numerous small bodies of water like Crones Pond and Midway Lake. This region of East Texas maintains its agricultural and resource-based character, evidenced by the presence of the Way Lake Oil Field in the northwest.

Small settlements such as Oak Grove, East Point, and Little Hope serve as local anchors, connected by an extensive grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes. The drainage patterns, including named branches like Slough Bridge Br and Burleson Br, illustrate the low-lying, well-watered geography of the area. This map provides a clear view of land divisions and rural habitations just after the first decade of the 21st century.
