About this map

Iron Bridge Dam anchors the landscape of the Sabine River valley, holding back the expansive waters of Lake Tawakoni. This 2010 survey shows a complex shoreline defined by points and coves, including Sun Point, Moon Point, and Star Point to the north, while Spring Point and Autumn Point mark the western reaches near Caney Creek. The map documents a predominantly rural infrastructure south of the reservoir, where a network of county roads connects the small settlements of Flats and Clifton.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved in the record, such as Bright Star Cemetery near the dam and Shook Cemetery on the northern shore. The terrain is drained by numerous tributaries like McBee Creek, Wills Creek, and McEnturff Creek, which flow through the rolling countryside. Smaller bodies of water like Goose Lake remain distinct features of the lowland geography just south of the primary embankment.
