About this map

The Vickie Lynn Oil Field and Woodlawn Oil Field dominate the northern and southern landscape of this Harrison County region, showcasing the deep-seated energy industry of East Texas during the mid-twentieth century. Scattered amongst the networks of pipelines and oil wells are numerous community landmarks that define the area's social history, including several country churches like St James Ch and New Zion Ch.

Evidence of shifting transportation and education patterns is visible in features such as the Old Railroad Grade and the Friendly Sch. Natural drainage is defined by the winding course of Big Cypress Bayou and its many tributaries, including Rainey Creek and Grays Creek, which cross the undulating terrain near the Marion County line. The presence of numerous family-named cemeteries, such as the Brantly Cem and Craver Cem, offers significant research value for those tracing local lineages.
