About this map

The low-lying river bottoms of the Sulphur River and White Oak Creek dominate this corner of Northeast Texas, where the boundaries of Bowie, Morris, and Cass counties converge. This environment is characterized by a complex network of sloughs and floodplain lakes, including Molly Clark Slough, Parker Lake, and Greenhaw Lake. These water features suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal flooding and shifting river channels, historically vital for local drainage and timbering operations.

Upland from the marshes, the settlement of Dalby Springs sits at the intersection of several local routes, such as FM 561. To the south, the landing at Willow Bluff overlooks the winding river. Genealogists will find the locations of Roberts Cem and Lumpkin Cem. useful for tracing family ties to these rural communities. The map captures the area as a mosaic of wetlands and small-scale agriculture, preserving the names of local landmarks like Deer Pasture Lake and Persimmon Pond.
