1982 Map of Indian Lake

About this map

Trinity River floodplains dominate the western edge of this landscape at the triple-junction of Anderson, Leon, and Houston counties. The river meanders past a series of oxbow lakes, including Indian Lake, Criminal Lake, Spring Lake, and the evocative Ti Ti Lake. Inland, the terrain rises into wooded hills drained by Box Creek and Manson Creek, where the rural character of the region is defined by family-named landmarks and country congregations. The small community of Redtown serves as a local hub near Tabernacle Ch, while St Andrews Ch and County Line Ch anchor other corners of the map. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural burial grounds like Parker Cem, Davis Cem, and Lee Washington Cem. This 1982 edition also reveals the region's resource extraction through numerous Gas Wells scattered across the eastern creek valleys.
