About this map

The winding course of the Trinity River defines the landscape here, separating Kaufman and Henderson counties from the floodplains of Navarro County. The settlement of Styx sits at a crossroads in the northern reach, while Seven Points and the residential area of Rolling Oaks dominate the eastern uplands. This area shows a transition from structured agricultural grid roads to the complex oxbows and wetlands surrounding Berry Lake, Round Pond, and numerous creeks like Grays Cr.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Ware Cem, Berry Cem, and Timothy Cem. The presence of Gas Plant Rd and Blanton Ranch suggests the local importance of energy infrastructure and traditional ranching. The river's serpentine path, flanked by Hackberry Cr and Willow Cr, illustrates the heavy influence of the watershed on the region's development and transport patterns.
