About this map

The Sabine River snakes across this East Texas landscape, defining the topography between the industrial growth of Longview and the northern reaches of Kilgore. In the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct transition from dense urban development in Greggton to the more rural, creek-divided lands near Danville and Fredonia. This survey documents a complex network of water management features, including Wickham Dam and Griffin Lake Dam, which support local reservoirs like Skipper Lake and Griffin Lake.

For local historians, the numerous family and memorial grounds such as Utzman Cemetery and Wilkerson Cemetery provide vital genealogical markers. The presence of the Kilgore Airport and the Meadows Lookout Tower reflects the modern infrastructure and forestry management of Gregg County, while features like Bullhide Slough and Peatown Branch indicate the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement locations.
