About this map

The Trinity River defines the southwestern edge of this East Texas terrain, where the boundary between Anderson Co and Freestone County follows the water's course. This rural landscape is anchored by the communities of Cayuga and Bethel, connected by the diagonal route of US Highway 287. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Judson Cem, Jackson Cem, and Shaw Cem.

A network of creeks and branches, such as Catfish Cr and Saline Br, drains the area into larger water bodies like Duck Lake and Cox Lake. Significant wetlands and tributaries like Long Br and Shore Br highlight the bottomland character near the river. Private aviation is represented by the Lochridge Ranch Airport, while local landmarks like Kidd Spring and DD Spring point to natural water sources essential for early settlement and ranching.
