2012 Map of Trees

About this map

Caddo Lake and the winding course of James Bayou define this borderlands landscape where Louisiana meets Texas. Small rural settlements like Monterey, Gethsemane, and Gray are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of local roads such as Slate Line Rd and Gethsemane N Rd. The area's industrial character is marked by the Vivian Oil Field and Potter Oil Field, while the presence of Core Cem, Gray Cem, and Burks-Hart Cem provides significant points of interest for genealogical research. Along the lake's edge, Stacy Landing and Bonham Landing highlight the longstanding relationship between these communities and the water. The community of Trees sits central to the map, serving as a hub near the Harts Ferry Bridge which spans the northern reaches of the lake.
