About this map

The Hawkins Oil Field dominates this corner of Wood and Upshur counties, where a dense network of pipelines and wells surrounding the Hawkins Refinery illustrates the area's mid-century petroleum economy. The Sabine River carves a meandering course across the southern landscape, creating a broad floodplain through which the St Louis Southwestern railroad passes.

Settlement is concentrated around Hawkins and Big Sandy, with notable educational institutions like Jarvis Christian College and its namesake Jarvis College Cem serving the community. Rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and local centers of faith such as Bethlehem Ch, Smith Chapel, and the Winona Industrial High Sch to the south. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies, including Holly Tree Lake and Bradford Lake, alongside family holdings like Pipe Hurst Farm.
