About this map

The Trinity River meanders across this Henderson County landscape, defining the character of the floodplain and the small communities settled above its banks. The settlement of Styx serves as a central point in the northern portion of the map, surrounded by a grid of rural roads like Co RD 4071 and FM 3396. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through family-named sites and burial grounds, including the Ware Cemetery, Berry Cemetery, and Guthrie Cemetery.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and rural layout is visible in the distribution of ranch lands such as the Blanton Ranch and the clustering of small locales like Aley, Harmony, and Porters Bluff. Water features like McDougle Lake, Berry Lake, and Round Pond dot the terrain, while the southern reach is marked by the convergence of Grays Creek and Hackberry Creek with the river. This survey captures the area’s transition into the 21st century, maintaining its distinct rural identity through named landmarks and historical cemeteries.
