About this map

The Sabine River snakes through this East Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary south of the rail-and-road corridor that connects Hawkins and Big Sandy. This 2012 survey illustrates the area's industrial and educational character, prominently featuring the Hawkins Oil Field and the campus of Jarvis Christian Coll, which includes its own designated Jarvis Christian Coll Cem. The terrain north of the river is a network of country roads and family-named landmarks like Haney Cem and Kay Cem, reflecting generations of local history.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, from the large expanse of Lake Hawkins in the northwest to smaller bodies like Bradford Lake and Holly Tree Lake. The map details the transition from the concentrated street grids of the towns to more rural holdings such as Pine Hurst Farm and the outlying Hawkins Camp, offering a precise look at the land use and drainage patterns of Upshur and Wood counties during the early 21st century.
