About this map

Mount Olive Cem serves as a silent witness to the generations who settled this Kaufman County landscape along the Cottonwood Cr drainage. The map reveals a region defined by extensive hydrological management, evidenced by numerous numbered reservoirs like Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir. These structures surround the small communities of Scurry, Warsaw, and Gastonia, which are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and the prominent corridor of W Us HWY 175.

The western portion of the map is dominated by the meandering wetlands of the East Fork Trinity River and the Old Channel E Fork Trinity River. Distinctive topographic rises such as Sand Hill, White House Ridge, and Rainbow Ridge break the low-lying river bottomlands. Aerial navigation is represented by Baum Airport, while local agriculture is mirrored in the distribution of ranch roads and small tanks near Crandall.
