2012 Map of Tool

About this map

Gun Barrel City and the neighboring community of Tool occupy a jagged, peninsula-laden shoreline along the eastern edge of the Cedar Cr Reservoir. This 2012 survey documents a landscape defined by intensive residential development along the water, where intricate street networks like those in Timber Creek Est contrast with the older, grid-based agricultural patterns further west near Aley and Tolosa. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the region, including the Gun Barrel City Airpark and the industrial footprint of the Flag Lake Oil Field. To the southwest, the terrain transitions into the lowlands of the Trinity River basin, marked by Flag Lake and Mud Lake. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Baker Cem and King Cem, while crossroads like Seven Points serve as the connecting hubs for the various lakeside developments.
