About this map

The Trinity River defines the western and southern boundaries of this area along the Anderson and Freestone County line, winding through a complex landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands. The river's historical influence is evident in the numerous water bodies that dot the floodplain, including Cook Lake, Tyler Ferry Lake, and Patterson Lake. These features, along with names like Cedar Lake Slough and Goose Pond, suggest a terrain shaped by seasonal flooding and shifting river channels.

Upland from the river bottoms, the map reveals local history through small family burial sites such as Jackson Cem, Edwards Cem, and Tyus Cem. Transportation in the region is a mix of rural county roads and specialized facilities like the W J E Airport. The proximity of the Trinity River to features like Catfish Creek and Tehuacana Cr highlights the intricate drainage network essential to this part of East Texas.
