About this map

Coon Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of the East Texas landscape along the county line between Henderson Co and Anderson Co. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring a network of named water bodies such as Murchison Lake, Slaughter Lakes, and the larger Old Lake. These features, alongside Wilson Lake, suggest a history of local land management or natural depressions that have become permanent fixtures of the drainage basin.

A solitary Mine is noted near the center of the sheet, providing a glimpse into the small-scale extractive industry occurring alongside the agricultural and timbered terrain. The southern reaches are dominated by the winding path of Catfish Creek and its confluence with Wolf Creek, while the northern area is fed by Mill Branch and Goldman Branch. This detailed survey preserves the rural character of the region before significant modern development, showing the intricate relationship between the local creeks and the family-named landmarks like Ferrell Branch.
