2019 Map of Styx

About this map

The meandering Trinity River defines the southern portion of this landscape, carving a complex series of oxbows and wetlands near Porters Bluff where Henderson, Navarro, and Kaufman counties meet. The small community of Styx sits in the northern reaches, while the growth of Seven Points and the residential development of Rolling Oaks are visible near the eastern boundary. This area preserves a high density of ancestral sites for genealogists, including Ware Cem, Berry Cem, Guthrie Cem, and Timothy Cem, often located near established homesteads like the Blanton Ranch. The hydrology of the region is further characterized by numerous water bodies such as McDougle Lake, Berry Lake, and Round Pond, which alongside creeks like Bois d'Arc Cr and Caney Cr, supported the agricultural and ranching lifestyle of this North Texas river bottom.
