About this map

The Trinity River snakes through this Anderson County landscape, carving a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands that define the local geography. The settlement of Long Lake serves as a central point near the southern bend of the river, surrounded by a hydrologic system including Mud Lake, Smith Lake, and the expansive Salt Water Slough. This environment is shaped by both natural watercourses like Keechie Creek and human intervention, most notably the Blue Lake Dam which regulates the waters of Blue Lake.

Industrial activity is anchored by the Long Lake Oil Field, which occupies the eastern portion of the quadrangle north of the main settlement. Small communities and landings such as Lake Port are connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 645 and FM 320. The map reveals a transition between the river's riparian zones and the higher ground where oil extraction and local transport routes are concentrated.
