About this map

The town of Talco and the surrounding northeast Texas landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and rural burial grounds. The community of Maple Springs sits to the east, while the town of Talco itself is organized along a grid including Lawrence St, N Broad St, and McLean St. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly wetland-oriented as it approaches White Oak Creek and the meandering Big Slough.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through well-documented sites such as Talco Cem, Belcher Cem, and Bridges Chapel Cem. The hydrology is heavily influenced by agricultural and local management, evidenced by the series of reservoirs like Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 1 and Prairie Lake. These features, alongside John E Baldwin Lake and various creeks like Ripley Cr and Piney Cr, illustrate a landscape where water management and traditional settlement patterns remain deeply intertwined.
