About this map

The Sabine River winds through a dense network of wetlands and oxbow lakes in this Wood County landscape, defining the border with Van Zandt and Smith counties. Significant water bodies such as Lake Holbrook, Sand Springs Lake, and Charter Lake dominate the geography, illustrating the complex hydrology of the river basin. The settlement of Golden occupies the northern reaches, while the western edge of Mineola and West Mineola appear in the southeast near the Mineola Wisener Field aviation grounds.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Green and Ford Cem, situated near the convergence of major local routes. The map detail highlights the transition from upland communities to the river bottoms, where features like Grand Saline Cr and Butler Lake dot the low-lying terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road system, including numerous county roads and farm-to-market routes that link these dispersed East Texas settlements.
