2016 Map of Cartwright

About this map

Cartwright and the surrounding rural communities of Oak Grove and Little Hope define this corner of Wood County. The landscape is heavily marked by a intricate network of creeks and wetlands, where Big Sandy Cr and Buck Cr drain through dense lowlands. Numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies, such as Crones Pond, Midway Lake, and Floating Glade, reflect the localized geography of the region. The map shows a clear transition between upland farming tracts and the wooded creek bottoms, with a dense grid of county roads connecting the small settlements of Stout and East Point. This detailed survey offers a view of the post-war expansion of Texas Farm-to-Market roads, including FM 14 and FM 312, which replaced earlier wagon routes to better serve the rural agricultural economy.
