About this map

Fruitvale and Edgewood anchor this portion of Van Zandt County, where a dense network of county roads intersects with the region's complex water system. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Giladon Cr, Crooked Cr, and Buffalo Cr, which flow through a terrain marked by significant depressions like Overcup Flat. This modern survey illustrates how local transportation has adapted to the natural drainage, with roads often skirting the edge of wetlands and small lakes such as Musslewhite Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family landmarks and community centers across the quadrangle. Distinct burial grounds including Toombies Cem, Barrett Cem, and Bratcher Cem are clearly marked, alongside the settlement of Small and the rural area of Lawrence Springs. The presence of these named landmarks provides a specific geographic context for tracing the development of this East Texas community through the early 21st century.
