1962 Map of Wyser Bottom

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Eastham State Prison Farm dominates the northwestern landscape of this East Texas terrain, characterized by the winding course of the Trinity River. The river creates a complex hydrology of sloughs, shoals, and oxbow lakes, such as Horseshoe Lake and Mason Slough. Along the southern banks, prominent elevations rise at Cincinnati Bluff and Wyser Bluff, overlooking the low-lying Wyser Bottom. This area preserves several family and community landmarks, including the New Hope Ch and a collection of small burial grounds like Spivey Cem and Dunlap Cem. The presence of Cincinnati Cem and Cincinnati Shoals serves as a reminder of the vanished river town of Cincinnati, which once served as a vital shipping point before being bypassed by railroads. Local history is further marked by features such as Lost Indian Camp and numerous named drainages like Jenkins Branch and Polecat Branch.
