About this map

Quitman serves as the focal point for this Wood County landscape, where the town's street grid meets a complex network of wetlands and reservoirs. The area is defined by its abundance of water, featuring significant bodies like Lake Quitman to the north and the recreational waters of Lake Lydia and Quitman Club Lake to the east. The terrain is intricately carved by numerous drainages, including Muddy Cr, Myrtle Springs Br, and Glade Cr, which feed into the larger Lake Fork Cr system.

Local genealogy and history are preserved in the various family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Price Cem and Ingram Cem. Smaller settlements and landmark areas like Forest Hill are connected by a dense web of farm-to-market roads and oil field access routes, reflecting the region's agricultural and resource-based character. To the southwest, the environment shifts toward more riparian features like George Slough and Turman Branch, highlighting the diverse hydrological profile of east Texas.
