About this map

Golden and the surrounding Wood County countryside appear here as a landscape defined by an intricate network of water and local industry. The Sabine River flows along the southern edge, fed by numerous tributaries such as Bearfield Br and Dry Cr, which create a series of bottomlands and small lakes including Charter Lake and Grassy Lake. Near the center of the sheet, Lake Holbrook serves as a major geographical anchor, with the Nolan-Edwards Oil Field situated nearby, indicating the region's historical reliance on natural resource extraction.

Industrial and transportation hubs are clustered to the southeast in Mineola and West Mineola. These areas are served by the Mineola Airport-Wisener Field and an extensive system of farm-to-market roads and county routes. For those researching local families, the Green and Ford Cem is a significant genealogical landmark, while smaller settlements like Ben and Silver Lake show the persistence of rural communities in this corner of East Texas.
