About this map

Southern Pacific rail lines and the winding course of the Trinity River define the landscape of this East Texas corridor in the mid-1980s. The settlement of Goodrich serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities like Urbana and New Hope. The area's industrial character is marked by the Goodrich Oil Field and numerous oil wells and gas wells scattered through the timbered terrain east of the river.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, including several country churches such as Guiding Star Ch and Big Creek Ch. Traditional burial sites like Lake Pool Cem and Davison Cem are clearly noted, often situated near water features like Long King Creek and Davison Bayou. The map also captures the complex hydrology of the region, featuring Mussel Shoals and the distinctive Jones Island.
