2010 Map of Wyser Bottom

About this map

Wyser Bottom is defined by the winding course of the Trinity River, where the waterway carves through a landscape of dense creek networks and prominent river bluffs. In the early 21st century, this stretch of Walker County remains largely rural, dominated by water features like Horseshoe Lake and the backwaters of the Livingston Reservoir. The map reveals a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds, including Mason Cemetery, Calhoun Cemetery, and Cincinnati Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. Evidence of small-scale water management is visible through numerous named dams such as the Garden Lake Dam and Moten Lake Dam. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Cincinnati Bluff and Wyser Bluff, while settlements are represented by the uniquely named Lost Indian Camp near the banks of Bedias Creek.
