About this map

The Trinity River winds through a landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands along the boundaries of Anderson, Leon, and Houston counties. This riverine environment is marked by distinctive water bodies such as Indian Lake, Spring Lake, and the provocatively named Criminal Lake. The terrain transitions from these low-lying bottomlands into higher ground dissected by numerous drainages, including Manson Cr, Box Cr, and Cedar Br.

Upland areas are defined by a network of rural routes like Rock Hill Rd and family-centered landmarks important to local genealogy. Both Parker Cem and Davis Cem are situated on the ridges overlooking the creek valleys, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of this rural Texas region. The map captures the meeting point of three counties, showing how the river serves as a natural boundary between Leon and Anderson counties.
