About this map

The Trinity River winds through this East Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary between Henderson and Navarro counties. The geography is dominated by the expansive reaches of the Cedar Cr Reservoir, which creates a complex shoreline of inlets and peninsulas. Along these waters, several residential communities have established roots, including the incorporated towns of Log Cabin, Caney City, and Star Harbor.

Further south, the established hubs of Malakoff and Trinidad anchor the region's inland infrastructure. Local history is preserved at sites like Stean Cem and Antioch Cem, while the industrial and natural hydrology is marked by Trinidad Lake and McAllister Slough. The map detail traces the evolution of these lakeside settlements from their rural origins into modern recreational and residential centers, highlighting how the damming of Cedar Creek reshaped the local economy and land use.
