2010 Map of Hawkins

About this map

The Hawkins township sits at the center of this Wood County landscape, defined by its relationship to the Sabine River floodplain to the south and industrial history to the north. The presence of the Hawkins Oil Field and the adjacent Hawkins Camp reflects the region's mid-century energy boom, while several family and institutional burial grounds like Kay Cemetery, Haney Cemetery, and the Jarvis College Cemetery provide vital touchstones for genealogists. Water management is a central theme across the terrain, from the large Lake Hawkins and Bradford Lake in the northwest to agricultural infrastructure like the Pinehurst Farm Lake Dam and Holly Tree Dam. This environment is a complex patchwork of creeks including Big Sandy Creek and East Mill Creek, showing the transition from upland settlements to the swampy lowlands of the river basin.
