2019 Map of Ore City

About this map

Ore City and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are defined by the expansive waters of Lake O' the Pines, which dominates the northern and eastern landscape of this quadrangle. The terrain is a network of creek drainages including Meddlin Cr, Sandy Cr, and Jones Cr, punctuated by smaller water bodies such as Satterwhite Ranch Lake and Ferguson Lake. The map reveals a transition from the established grid of the city to more rural developments like Cedar Springs. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Cedar Grove Cem located south of the main lake body. The landscape is also marked by significant county boundaries where Upshur, Marion, and Harrison Counties meet, reflecting the complex political geography of the region near Railroad Pond.
