About this map

Talco serves as the primary hub in this corner of Titus County, where a grid of streets like Lide St and W Crawford Ave meets the surrounding ranching and timber lands. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the White Oak Creek bottomlands, a wide floodplain characterized by the winding Big Slough and numerous seasonal wetlands. To the east, the small settlement of Maple Springs sits on higher ground near the Belcher Cem, reflecting the rural burial traditions and dispersed community patterns of Northeast Texas.

Water management is evident through various impoundments, from the large Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 1 in the north to the smaller John E Baldwin Lake further south. These features, along with named tributaries such as Ripley Cr and McCullough Cr, trace the natural drainage towards the Sulphur River basin. The road network, dominated by farm-to-market routes and county roads like Chicken Ranch Rd, highlights the area's ongoing agricultural and rural residential character.
