2013 Map of Wizard Wells

About this map

Wizard Wells and the surrounding ranchlands of Wise County are defined by the winding waters of Lake Bridgeport and its numerous finger-like inlets. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where traditional rural settlements like Vineyard coexist with the more modern residential development at Runaway Bay along the lake's eastern shore. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians, as it documents several small, dispersed burial grounds including Wizard Wells Cem, Morrow Cem, and McDaniel Cem. The physical geography is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as Jim Ned Hill and the geological formation at Devils Den, while the hydrography is anchored by Jasper Cr and the Fork Trinity River. The network of backroads, such as Jim Ned Rd and Boy Scout Rd, provides a clear view of the area's modern connectivity.
