2016 Map of Tool

About this map

Cedar Cr Reservoir dominates this landscape on the Henderson and Kaufman County line, where mid-century water management projects reshaped the local geography. The shoreline is heavily developed with residential enclaves and streets radiating from Gun Barrel City and Seven Points, reflecting the area's transition into a major regional recreation and residential hub. Near the northern reach of the water, the community of Tolosa sits among a network of rural roads like Harris Ln and Co Rd 4044, while the Kaufman Co Henderson Co boundary cuts directly through the reservoir. Away from the modern waterfront, older markers of settlement remain visible, such as Baker Cem and King Cem, alongside natural features like Flag Lake and Persimmon Br. The dense residential platting at Tool and Payne Springs contrasts with the surrounding wetlands of Mud Lake, illustrating the intense human footprint along these Texas lakefronts.
