2016 Map of Beckville

About this map

Beckville anchors this eastern Texas landscape, where the street grid of the town center gives way to a network of rural county roads and scattered settlements. To the south and east, communities like Holland Quarters, Delray, and Riderville are dispersed among a complex drainage system defined by Irons Bayou and Hoggs Bayou. The terrain transitions from the elevations of The Sand Hills in the northwest toward the lowland marshes and small bodies of water such as Shelby Lake and Hand Lake. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Langley Cem, Davis Cem, and Macedonia Cem, are located throughout the countryside, providing a clear map of the area's social history and genealogical landscape during this era of rural Texas development.
