2016 Map of Ola

About this map

Ola and Oak Ridge stand as primary settlements in this rural Kaufman County landscape, defined by a network of creeks and small impoundments. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Little Cottonwood Cr and Big Cottonwood Cr, which feed into larger water bodies like Kaufman Lake. The distribution of historical family and community sites is evident through several established burial grounds, notably Morrow Chapel Cem located near the center of the survey and Rader Cem to the northeast. A series of private lakes, such as Circle K Lake Number 1 and Circle K Lake Number 2, suggest the area's later development for ranching or recreational land use. The presence of Jones Cr and Walnut Cr further illustrates the complex watershed that has historically dictated road placement and settlement patterns across this portion of East Texas.
