About this map

The Trinity River defines the western edge of this landscape, its winding course forming the boundary between Leon and Houston Counties. Along the river's eastern banks, a dense network of oxbow lakes and wetlands characterizes the bottomlands, including Stanmire Lake, Alligator Lake, and Field Lake. These water bodies suggest a dynamic river system that has shifted over time, creating a rich environment for local wildlife and agriculture.

Further inland, the terrain rises toward Kent Hill and the settlement of Reynard. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites, such as the Old Dalley Family Cem, Wes Hicks Cem, and Bluff Cem. Transport and infrastructure are represented by a mix of rural routes like FM 227 and local developments such as the W C Ranch Airport, providing a clear look at how human activity is integrated into this river-centered topography.
