1960 Map of Cartwright

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Big Sandy Creek and its many meandering tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Stout Creek, carve through this section of Wood County. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural settlements and local institutions that served the mid-century farming community. Small communities like Cartwright and Stout anchor the northern reaches, while Little Hope sits near the eastern edge. Local genealogy and social history are preserved in the locations of Shady Grove Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the Lone Grove Sch, illustrating the dispersed nature of East Texas country life before significant modernization. The presence of named water features like Crones Pond, Long Lake, and Round Lake suggests a low-lying, well-watered terrain where drainage basins dictated the placement of roads like the Merigale-Paul Road and the early settlement patterns of family-named landmarks.
