About this map

Wakefield and the northern reaches of Corrigan anchor this landscape along the boundary of Trinity, Angelina, and Polk Counties. The northeastern corner is defined by the Neches River, which winds past The Island and through Dollarhide Slough, creating a complex wetland environment. This area serves as a significant drainage basin where Upper Sulphur Cr, Piney Cr, and Bear Cr converge towards the river system, shaping the local topography of the East Texas timberlands.

Evidence of established community life is visible in the presence of Knox Cem and Stryker Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists. The map also documents modern developments like the Anderosa Airpark and the residential layout of Pleasant Hill, alongside an extensive network of local routes such as FM 357 and FM 1987. These roads connect family-named landmarks and historical settlements, tracing the development of this rural corridor as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
