2022 Map of Tool

About this map

Cedar Creek Reservoir dominates this landscape at the intersection of Henderson and Kaufman Counties, shaping the development of the surrounding lakeside communities. The water's edge is densely lined with residential streets and private docks, particularly around Tool and Gun Barrel City. This modern geography contrasts with the older rural roots visible in the outlying areas, where Sanders Creek and Bridge Creek flow through less developed terrain toward the Trinity River and Mud Lake. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, including Baker Cem in the north and King Cem to the west. Transportation in the region relies on a network of state and county roads, such as Seven Points Boulevard, which connects the namesake settlement of Seven Points to the larger recreation-driven economies of the reservoir's shoreline. The presence of the Gun Barrel City Airpark further highlights the area's role as a regional hub.
