About this map

Postoak stands as the primary settlement in this 1960s landscape, positioned near the boundary between Clay Co and Jack Co. The terrain is defined by the hydrological network of the West Fork Trinity River and its tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Jones Creek, which carve through the elevations of Bear Mtn and the quiet expanse of Pudding Valley.

Evidence of the local resource-based economy is scattered throughout, from the Prospect site in the north to numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits distributed across the countryside. For those researching family history in the region, the map provides precise locations for several local burying grounds, including Prospect Cem, Silver Hill Cem, and Postoak Cem, offering a detailed look at the community's footprint before later development changed the rural character of these Texas counties.
