2010 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Woodlawn and Pope City anchor this East Texas landscape, where the confluence of bayous and man-made reservoirs defines the local geography. The area's industrial and transportation history is evidenced by the Woodlawn Oil Field and the Cypress River Airport, while the intricate network of Farm to Market roads like FM 134 and FM 1793 connects the various lake communities. Water is the dominant feature of the terrain, from the slow-moving Big Cypress Bayou and Little Cypress Bayou in the north to a series of engineered water bodies including Sanders Lake, Bonita Lake, and Lake Margret. These reservoirs, often accompanied by family-named landmarks like the Sanders Lake Dam, reflect the mid-century development of the region's hydraulic resources. Genealogists and local historians can trace property boundaries and road networks such as Baker Bridge Rd and Munden Dance Hall Rd that radiate from the settlement at Woodlawn, which also includes the Woodlawn Cemetery.
