2010 Map of Tater Patch Lake

About this map

The Neches River carves a winding path through this corner of Hardin County, creating a complex network of oxbows and bottomland water bodies including Horseshoe Lake, Jackson Lake, and Tater Patch Lake. The eastern uplands are defined by family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, most notably Withers Cemetery and the industrial activity at the Sally Withers Lake Oil Field. A transition from the river lowlands to higher ground is marked by Yellow Bluff and the Cairo Springs Lookout, which provides a vantage point over the dense drainage system of Black Branch and Turner Branch. Local roads such as Withers Cemetary Rd and Weiss Bluff Rd connect these remote landmarks, illustrating the enduring influence of early settler families on the modern landscape of Southeast Texas.
