About this map

Troup and Arp anchor this East Texas landscape, where the irregular shoreline of Lake Tyler East meets a network of country roads and creek drainages. The influence of the petroleum industry is evident at the Good Omen Oil Field and the settlement of Sinclair City, highlighting the region's energy-based economy. Waterways like Kickapoo Creek and Henson Creek carve through the terrain, while the Twin Bay Peninsula and Grand View Point define the recreational and residential character of the lakeshore.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the rural landscape, with several established burial grounds including Shiloh Cemetery, Elkins Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and Salem Cemetery. Smaller communities like Omen and Salem persist along historic routes such as the Old Henderson Hwy, maintaining the traditional settlement patterns of Smith County outside the larger townships.
