2019 Map of Wilkinson

About this map

White Oak Creek and its broad, marshy floodplain dominate the central geography of this portion of Titus County, creating a natural barrier between the northern and southern settlements. Small agricultural communities such as Wilkinson, Midway, and Argo are connected by a network of farm roads and county routes, including FM 71 and FM 1402. The landscape is defined by its water, from the established Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 5 in the north to the numerous wetlands and named basins like Brooks Lake and Cuckoo Pond. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several local burial grounds, including Deshiell Cem near the northern boundary and Springhill Cem to the west of Midway. The presence of numerous creeks such as Stinking Cr and Smackover Cr illustrates the drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and property lines in this rural Texas region.
