About this map

The meandering Trinity River defines the northern landscape of this region, shaping a network of tributaries including Village Creek, Walker Creek, and Bois d'Arc Creek. In the southwestern corner, the settlement of Rice sits near the Rice Oil Field, indicating the local importance of the petroleum industry. The area is characterized by a significant water management infrastructure, evidenced by a series of Soil Conservation Service sites, including Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Reservoir Number Five. Genealogy researchers will find several points of interest, notably the Rice Cemetery, Old Chatfield Cemetery, and New Chatfield Cemetery located in the southern half of the quadrangle. Further north, Valley Farms serves as a named landmark among the rural roads and agricultural drainage basins that feed into the Trinity.
