About this map

Winnsboro serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, revealing a landscape where petroleum extraction and water management define the local economy. The town's grid expands toward the Winnsboro Municipal Airport, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with significant energy infrastructure, including the Pickton Oil Field, McCrary Oil Field, and the central Winnsboro Oil Field. These industrial sites sit alongside rural landmarks like Lee Cem and the small settlement of Webster.

The western portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Winnsboro, fed by Big Sandy Cr and Little Sandy Cr. This hydraulic network, which includes smaller bodies like Wheeler Lake and Bryce Lake, creates a complex geography of creeks and basins such as Crooked Cr and Indian Cr. From the heights of Carters Lookout to the northeastern reaches of Rock Springs, the map provides a detailed view of the region's transition from traditional rural homesteads to a modern landscape of reservoirs and oil production.
