About this map

The Trinity River creates a winding western boundary for this landscape, carving deep loops like Mitchell Bend as it flows south through Houston County. Along its course, a complex network of oxbow lakes and bottomlands includes Stanmire Lake, Middle Lake, and Alligator Lake, illustrating the river's historical shifts. The area transitions from these low-lying wetlands to the upland energy production of the Navarro Crossing Oil Field.

Small settlements such as Reynard and Wheeler Springs anchor the local geography, connected by rural routes like FM 227. For those researching family history, several small burial sites are documented, including the Old Dalley Family Cemetery and Wes Hicks Cemetery in the northeast, as well as the Bluff Cemetery overlooking the river. The presence of the W C Ranch Airport and various creek systems like Big Elkhart Creek further define the regional character of this East Texas terrain.
