About this map

The West Fork San Jacinto River winds through this rural Walker County landscape, defining a terrain of creeks and minor branches. The small settlement of Loma serves as a central point, situated near the crossroads of Loma Rd and Morgan Rd. This area is particularly notable for its density of family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Sites such as McCowan Cemetery, Mustang Cemetery, and Driscoll Cemetery are scattered across the quadrangle, often located along backroads like Kate Bolden Rd and Hoke 1 Rd.

Hydrological features including Duke Lake and Morgan Lake are captured alongside the intricate network of watercourses like Sand Branch and Rocky Creek. The presence of Wesley Grove and various unnamed structures along Pool Rd suggests a dispersed settlement pattern typical of this part of East Texas. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of West Sandy Creek and Lucas Branch as they feed into the larger river system, illustrating the natural geography of the region as it existed in the early 21st century.
