About this map

The Livingston Oil Field and Schwab Oil Field anchor this landscape in Polk County, illustrating the enduring intersection of the petroleum industry and the rural Texas Big Thicket region. The Trinity River snakes along the western edge, creating a complex wetland environment of oxbows and named waters such as George Taylor Lake and Fish Scale Lake. The map reveals several small settlements, including Schwab City, Ace, and the historic Drews Landing site near the Logan League land grant.

Modern residential development is evident in the street networks of Forest Springs Lake, where numerous cul-de-sacs and named drives like Maple Dr and Pineway Dr contrast with the older, straight-line industrial corridors of the Tram Rd. Tributaries like Menard Cr and Mill Cr drain the central and eastern portions of the map, carving through the dense woodland. This era of the region is defined by a mix of leisure-oriented lakeside neighborhoods and the established infrastructure of the local energy sector.
