About this map

The Trinity Co Polk Co boundary line cuts diagonally across this East Texas landscape, dividing a region defined by its dense network of tributaries. Major watercourses like Kickapoo Creek and Rocky Creek wind through the terrain, joined by numerous smaller streams such as Steam Mill Cr and Bridge Cr. The topography is shaped by these drainage patterns, which historically influenced the placement of early settlements and agricultural tracts in this part of Polk County.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Bethel Cem in the southeast, situated near Colita Loop. The road network, including Wells Landing Rd and Perkins Ranch Rd, suggests a landscape of family-held lands and rural homesteads. In the northeast, Carmona Lake provides a localized landmark within the heavily wooded river bottomlands that characterize the border between Trinity and Polk counties.
