2019 Map of Sand Ridge

About this map

Midway stands as a primary settlement in this part of Madison County, situated near the intersection of several farm roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the boundary between Madison and Houston counties, where numerous oxbow lakes and wetlands such as Rattlesnake Lake, Snag Lake, and Brushy Lake illustrate the shifting hydrology of the region. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where aviation, ranching, and local history intersect at sites like Trinity Field and the Seven J Stock Farm Airport. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Union Grove Cem near Vistula and Bozeman Cem to the west. The map also records numerous creek branches and drainages like Crabs Br and Ivey Cr that feed into the larger river systems of east-central Texas.
