2013 Map of Athens

About this map

Athens Lake and the larger Athens Fish and Game Club Lake anchor the northeastern landscape of this East Texas community, reflecting the area's development around recreational and water management resources. The town center is defined by a dense street grid including State Loop 7, which encircles the core residential and commercial districts. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern footprint of Trinity Valley Community College and the Athens Municipal Airport, indicating the town's role as a regional educational and transportation hub. Outside the main settlement, the terrain is marked by smaller locales such as Walnut, Virginia Hill, and Pine Grove. For family historians, the inclusion of several burial sites like Richardson Cem, Barker Cem, and Davis Cem provides essential points of reference for local genealogy. The landscape is also heavily intersected by numerous creeks, including First Caney Cr and Coon Cr, which feed into various named reservoirs like Moonshine Lake Number 2 and Darby Farms Lake.
