About this map

The East Fork Trinity River flows through the western portion of this Kaufman County region, creating a wide floodplain marked by the Old Channel East Fork Trinity River and Pecon Slough. The landscape is a mix of small community centers and rural infrastructure, including the Thunderbird Racetrack in the north and Baum Airport near the center. The settlement of Scurry sits in the southeast, while Crandall and Gastonia anchor the northern reaches near the river's upper branches.

Local history is preserved in sites like the Mount Olive Cemetery and across named topographical features such as White House Ridge and Rainbow Ridge. Water management is evident at Murphy Lake, held by the Murphy Lake Dam. A dense network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 148 and FM 1390, connects these outlying Texas communities, illustrating the area's development into a residential and agricultural patchwork east of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
