2013 Map of Kirkpatrick Lake

About this map

The East Hillister Oil Field anchors the southern landscape of this Tyler County survey, highlighting the intersection of industrial extraction and the winding watercourses of the East Texas Piney Woods. Significant creek systems including Theuvenins Cr and Turkey Cr dominate the topography, creating a network of drainages that feed into larger bodies like Spurlock Lake and Drakes By Lake. The road network is largely defined by rural county routes and distinctive thoroughfares such as Pope Mill Rd and Koon Tap Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies established burial sites like Goalsbee Cem in the north and Allison Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of the oil field alongside these traditional landmarks reflects the dual character of the region as both a place of family history and resource production.
