About this map

Wright Patman Lake dominates this northeast Texas landscape, flooding the valley where the Sulphur River once flowed naturally across the Bowie and Cass County line. The map reveals a complex shoreline where numerous tributaries, including Elliott Cr, Boone Cr, and Fleming Cr, reach into the timbered uplands. The settlement of Redwater sits on the northwestern heights, while the smaller community of Domino is situated near the southern edge of the sheet.

Genealogical interest is found at the Hollaway Cem near the intersection of W 7th St and Piney Ridge Rd. The reservoir's impact on local infrastructure is visible at the McCartney Bridge and the Elliott Bluff Boat Ramp, which provide access to the water's edge. Landforms such as Bells Island remain as high points within the lake's expanse, while preserved natural areas like Clear Springs Park line the northern banks.
