About this map

Golden serves as a primary hub in this Wood County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of water bodies and regional drainage. The Sabine River snakes through the southern portion of the area, feeding into a series of oxbows and named lakes including Silver Lake, Brushy Lake, and Grassy Lake. This hydrology is further defined by modern infrastructure such as Wood County Dam Number 2, which forms Lake Holbrook.

Industrial and aviation history is evidenced by the Nolan-Edwards Oil Field and Mineola Wisener Field near the eastern margin. For those researching local lineages, the Green and Ford Cemetery sits just outside West Mineola, while small communities like Ben mark the junctions of the county road system. The map details a transition from the agricultural and timbered bottoms of the Sabine toward the upland aviation and oil operations that shaped the local economy in the early 21st century.
