2016 Map of Oakwood

About this map

Oakwood serves as the primary hub for this section of the Texas interior, situated where the borders of Freestone and Leon counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Trinity River and its complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Glaze Lake, Criminal Lake, and McCrakin Lake. This riparian environment transitions into higher, rolling ground to the south and west, where the Mount Pisgah Cem stands as a focal point for local family history and genealogy. The map details a transition from river-bottom wetlands to ranchland and timbered tracts, connected by a dense web of secondary roads like Co RD 239 and Co RD 342. Smaller watercourses like Northwest Fork Boons Cr and Ringold Cr drain the central region, while the Carter Ranch Airport indicates modern land use and accessibility in this rural stretch of East Texas.
