2022 Map of Berea

About this map

Small rural settlements and family-named cemeteries anchor this portion of Houston County, where the landscape transitions into the wooded expanses of the Davy Crockett National Forest. The community of Arbor sits near the center of the sheet, while Hopewell occupies the southwest corner along the intersection of local roads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including the winding course of White Rock Cr and the waters of Hurricane Bayou. These waterways create a complex topography of ridges and bottoms, influencing the placement of early homesteads and ranching lands like the Hickory Creek Ranch and Pine Shadows Ranch. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved burial sites across the landscape, including Stantain Thomas Cem, Concord Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and the remote Jim English Cem located near Wolf Lake.
