About this map

The unincorporated community of Cottondale centers this Wise County landscape, characterized by a complex network of water management and energy extraction. A series of numbered reservoirs, from Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir to Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir, dot the terrain to manage the flow of Salt Cr, Garrett Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. This system of artificial lakes reflects mid-century conservation efforts to stabilize the rural Texas watershed.

Energy infrastructure is prominent across the sheet, with the Paradise Gas Field, Cottondale Gas Field, and Daly Gas Field indicating the region's industrial focus. Local history is anchored by Annas Chapel Cem and Opal Cem, while smaller settlements like Draco and Lucky Ridge mark the intersections of farm-to-market roads. Private aviation is also noted via Eugene's Dream Airport and Dauenhauer Field Airport, which serve the local ranching and residential properties.
