About this map

Trinity River oxbows and sloughs dominate this 2010 survey of the borderlands between Anderson and Freestone Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named water bodies like Pea Patch Lake, Snag Lake, and the winding Yonker Pin Slough. High ground is marked by several named bluffs, including Walker Bluff and Cox Bluff, which provide topographical relief against the low-lying river bottom.

The presence of Roustabout Camp, Big Camp, and Amerada Camp reflects the region's historical and ongoing ties to petroleum extraction and field worker housing. These sites, along with the nearby reservoir of Richland Creek, show how industrial and water management projects have shaped the local geography. Transportation is centered on FM 488 and U.S. Route 287, which provide access to the various sloughs and creek systems such as Tehuacana Creek and Cottonwood Creek that drain the interior woodlands.
