About this map

The Trinity River winds through this landscape on the border of Henderson and Navarro Counties, defining a region shaped by complex hydrology and large-scale ranching. The Creslenn Ranch (Headquarters) and its associated Creslenn Park sit near the center of the sheet, where The Cutoff and several oxbow lakes like Morrison Lake and Stephens Lake indicate the river's historical shifts. To the north, Trinidad Lake and the settlement of Trinidad mark the edge of more developed industrial and residential activity.

Industrial use is evident in the Oil Field near South Malakoff Creek and scattered Gravel Pits. For genealogists, the Princeton Cem provides a specific point of historical reference in an otherwise sparsely populated area. The map illustrates the transition from the river's floodplain, characterized by Wildcat Slough and McAllister Slough, to the higher ground where the community of Cayuga is situated.
