About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the bottomlands of the Anderson, Freestone, and Leon county lines, creating a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and alluvial deposits. This 2016 survey highlights a series of oxbows and perennial water bodies, including the expansive Big Lake and Blue Lake, which speak to the river's historical shifts across the valley floor. Small settlements like Tucker and Long Lake anchor the eastern side of the quadrangle, while Lake Port sits near the river's western banks.

The presence of features such as Salt Water Slough and Cedar Lake Slough indicates the wet, low-lying nature of the terrain between the river and the surrounding uplands. A network of county and private roads, including Co RD 2901 and PR 294, provides access to these rural tracts. Researchers of local geography will find interest in the transition between the active river channel and the numerous named lakes like Mud Lake and Smith Lake that occupy former channels.
