About this map

Cedar Creek Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Henderson County quadrangle, where the 1972 photorevisions clearly delineate the expansive reach of the new shoreline over the historical terrain of Clear Creek and Caney Creek. To the south, the industrial character of the region is evident near Trinidad, where the Trinity River meets infrastructure including a Powerplant and the Texas Power and Light Co Lake. The transition from rural homesteads to industrial extraction is marked by several Claypits and a Gravel Pit near Malakoff.

Local heritage is anchored by longstanding community sites like the St Paul Industrial Sch and several country churches, including Clear Creek Ch and Mankin Ch. The St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor provides a straight axis through the southern half of the map, passing through the town centers and connecting the riparian bottomlands of the Trinity River to the growing residential areas in the east.
