Lake Fork, Mineola, and Hills on a Wood County Texas Map

This page uses Quitman as the central reference for a Wood County Texas Map, then follows the county west toward Lake Fork Reservoir, southwest toward Mineola, north toward Winnsboro, and southeast toward Hawkins. Download the high-resolution A3 JPG map ZIP from the box below when you need printable or editable files; it contains separate county-reference, ranked-city, terrain-and-water, and elevation maps.

Wood County has a strong lake-and-hills character in the supplied map set. Lake Fork Reservoir dominates the western side, Quitman sits near the middle, Mineola provides the clearest southwestern road reference, and Winnsboro and Hawkins mark the north and southeast. The elevation layer adds a striking contrast: broad low ground follows the lake and many creek valleys, while the eastern and northeastern half rises into much more rugged hills.

Quitman ties the Lake Fork side to Mineola, Winnsboro, and Hawkins

Quitman is the easiest place to locate first on the county reference map. Route 182 crosses from the Alba side through Quitman and continues east, while route 154 provides another strong eastbound reference. South of Quitman, route 37 leads toward Mineola. Once those roads are fixed, the central and southwestern parts of the county become easy to orient.

Winnsboro lies along the northern side near route 11, and Yantis is farther west near the Lake Fork Reservoir area. Hawkins sits in the southeast along route 80. The towns are therefore spread across the county rather than concentrated in one continuous urban corridor, and each one helps define a different side of the map.

Mineola has one of the densest road clusters on the map. Routes 37 and 69 meet around the city, and route 564 extends eastward. By contrast, the north-central and eastern areas contain more creeks and local roads than major settlement labels. That difference becomes especially important when the road map is compared with the terrain and elevation layers.

Mineola leads the six-city ranking, followed by Winnsboro and Quitman

The ranked-city layer highlights Mineola, Winnsboro, Quitman, Hawkins, Alba, and Yantis. Mineola is number 1 in the southwest, Winnsboro is number 2 in the north, and Quitman is number 3 near the center. Hawkins ranks fourth in the southeast, with Alba fifth on the western side and Yantis sixth in the northwest.

The CITY INDEX prints map values of 5,068 for Mineola, 3,485 for Winnsboro, 2,420 for Quitman, 1,876 for Hawkins, 664 for Alba, and 353 for Yantis. These figures explain the ranking and relative symbol display used in the supplied graphic and should not be treated as guaranteed current population estimates. For geographic use, the important pattern is the spread: a larger southwestern center, a central county-seat reference, and smaller communities defining the lake, north, and southeast.

The city layer also makes the county’s large rural spaces more obvious. Yantis and Alba help frame the western lake country, while Hawkins marks the southeastern edge and Mineola sits close to the southwest boundary. Quitman remains the most balanced central reference when the road, water, and elevation maps are read together.

Lake Fork Reservoir contrasts with the Big Sandy Creek and Sabine River side

Lake Fork Reservoir is the dominant western water feature. Its branching shoreline fills a large part of the western map, and Lake Fork Creek continues eastward from the reservoir through a lower valley. Dry Creek descends from the north, while Lake Holbrook provides another named water reference farther southwest.

In the eastern half, Big Sandy Creek is one of the strongest named channels. Inman Branch approaches from the north, and Stout Creek and Mill Creek join the same general drainage corridor from the east. Lake Greenbriar appears farther down the Big Sandy Creek side, while Lake Lydia provides a separate central water landmark.

The southeastern edge adds another major river reference: Sabine River. Brumley Lake sits near that lower boundary, with West Upper Lake farther north. The water map therefore divides Wood County into three useful zones—Lake Fork Reservoir in the west, a creek-rich eastern interior, and the Sabine River lowlands along the southeast.

This layer is intended for geographic water and terrain reference rather than flood-risk analysis, navigation, water depth, parcel boundaries, or reservoir-management decisions. Its main value here is to show how the large Lake Fork system differs from the eastern creek network and how the Sabine River occupies a lower corridor along the southeastern side.

Elevation climbs into eastern hills while lake and river corridors stay low

The elevation map reports an actual range of about 84 to 198 meters and a mean elevation of 130 meters. The darkest brown high ground is concentrated in the east and northeast, with additional high ridges across the north-central interior. In contrast, the Lake Fork Reservoir basin, the central creek valleys, and much of the southern boundary are green and noticeably lower.

The eastern highlands are not a smooth plateau. Big Sandy Creek and many smaller tributaries cut green lower corridors through the brown ridges. Farther west, the Lake Fork Creek system follows lower ground toward the reservoir. The southeastern Sabine River side is also low, so the terrain map closely matches the drainage pattern shown on the water layer.

This countywide elevation surface is designed for broad terrain comparison rather than parcel surveying, engineering, or construction design. It is useful for seeing where the eastern hills rise, why the Lake Fork and Sabine River sides are lower, and how creek valleys divide the higher terrain. Exact elevation at a specific site should be checked with detailed source data or a local survey.

Choose the view by whether towns, Lake Fork, waterways, or relief matters most

Use the county reference map when Quitman, Mineola, Winnsboro, Hawkins, road labels, and the county boundary need to appear together. The ranked-city view is cleaner for comparing the six main mapped communities. The terrain-and-water layer is the best place to trace Lake Fork Reservoir, Big Sandy Creek, and Sabine River, while the elevation map makes the eastern hills and lower lake and river corridors easiest to compare.

The downloadable ZIP contains four separate high-resolution A3 JPG files for Wood County: county reference, ranked city, terrain and water, and elevation. You can inspect the lighter WebP versions in the article first and then use the larger JPG files for printing, classroom material, presentations, or an editable local-reference document.

Sources and data references

Roads, settlement locations, and the Wood County boundary can be cross-checked with the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Shapefiles. Lake Fork Reservoir, Big Sandy Creek, Sabine River, and other named water features can be checked against USGS National Hydrography, while terrain height data are available through the USGS 3D Elevation Program. City index values, route references, named waters, and the 84–198 meter elevation range described above are based on the Wood County maps supplied in this package.
