2019 Map of Ashland

About this map

The boundary lines of Upshur, Harrison, and Gregg Counties intersect within this East Texas landscape, where the settlement of Ashland sits at the junction of local routes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, characterized by the winding path of Little Cypress Cr and the expansive wetlands surrounding Little Cypress Bayou. Small rural communities like Diana and Morton are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by farm-to-market roads and named lanes such as Singleton Trce and Beauty Shop Rd. Genealogy value is high here, as the map preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, including Jones Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Ashland Cem. To the south, French Lake and Panther Cr mark the low-lying reaches of the watershed, illustrating the environmental character of the Piney Woods region at this moment in the early 21st century.
