About this map

Big Cypress Bayou and Black Cypress Bayou converge in the southern portion of this landscape, framing the established town of Jefferson. The town’s significant heritage is anchored by the Jefferson Historic District and several burial grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery and Mount Sinai Cemetery. This area reflects a long-standing settlement pattern in East Texas, where river navigation and overland roads meet.

North of the main town, smaller settlements such as Prospect, Hall, and Lodi are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads like FM 248. The industrial character of the region is evidenced by the Rodessa Oil Field to the northeast and Manning Field. The winding courses of Scotts Creek and Hasty Creek define the low-lying terrain between these rural communities, illustrating how water drainage has historically dictated land use and property boundaries.
