About this map

The Trinity River snakes through this Anderson County landscape, defining a wetland environment rich with oxbows and backwaters. Near the river's edge, the small settlement of Yard sits below Greens Bluff, where local history is preserved in family burial grounds such as the Jackson Cemetery, Edwards Cemetery, and Tyus Cemetery. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex hydrological system where Catfish Creek meanders toward the river, feeding a network of named water bodies including Tyler Ferry Lake, Mossy Lake, and Patterson Lake.

Institutional and infrastructure markers are prominent across the terrain, notably the Coffield State Prison Farm and the W J E Airport. The map also traces various rural routes like Feed Mill Rd and Levee Rd, which follow the contours of the river valley. The landscape transitions from the higher ground of Rocky Branch down to the bottomlands, where Edwards Creek and Indian Creek drain into the primary river channel.
