About this map

White Oak Creek meanders through the center of this Titus County landscape, defining a broad floodplain that separates the northern oil fields from the southern upland settlements. The mid-1960s petroleum economy is evident in the Trix-Liz Oil Field and the Pewitt Ranch Oil Field, where numerous wells are scattered across the terrain. These industrial zones contrast with the rural character of communities like Wilkinson, where Harris Ch and the Deshiell Cem serve as local landmarks.

To the south, the terrain becomes more dissected by tributaries such as Stinking Creek and Snake Creek. Small settlements like Argo and Midway are connected by a network of light-duty roads, passing through areas anchored by local institutions like Mt Sylvan Ch and the Spring Hill Cem. This survey captures the transition from bottomland timber and creek basins to the developed uplands during a period of active resource extraction.
