About this map

Cedar Creek Reservoir dominates the landscape of north-central Texas, where the boundaries of Kaufman and Henderson counties meet. This survey shows the extensive shoreline development characterizing the region, particularly around the lakeside communities of Gun Barrel City and Tool. The map captures a sophisticated network of residential roads and local connectors like Seven Points Blvd that facilitate access to the water's edge.

Away from the developed peninsulas, the terrain transitions to the low-lying wetlands of the Trinity River valley. Here, features like Flag Lake and Mud Lake contrast with the higher ground occupied by inland settlements such as Tolosa and Mabank. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks through Baker Cem and King Cem, while aviation enthusiasts can locate the Gun Barrel City Airpark. The presence of small water bodies like Bridge Creek and Sanders Cr illustrates the complex drainage systems that feed the primary reservoir.
