About this map

Douglassville serves as the central hub of this Northeast Texas landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 77 and several local routes that wind through the timbered creek bottoms of Cass County. To the north, the waters of Wright Patman Lake dominate the terrain, creating a complex shoreline marked by distinctive elevations like Pine Bluff and Knights Bluff. The area's network of waterways, including Ballard Creek, Webster Cr, and Ellington Cr, indicates a heavily dissected landscape that has historically shaped the placement of local roads and farmsteads.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of Liberty Cem and Rutland Cem, which sit near the small communities of Antioch and O'Farrell. The map's detail provides a look at the rural character of the region during the mid-2010s, showing a transition from the structured residential clusters in Douglassville to the more scattered rural residences along Kickapoo Lodge Rd and various county roads.
