2019 Map of Berryhill Creek

About this map

The Angelina River and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape southeast of Henderson in Rusk County. Wide wetland bottomlands accompany Shawnee Cr and Berryhill Cr, indicating the seasonal flow patterns that have shaped the rural terrain. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern tied to the county road system, where family histories are anchored by local landmarks such as Crow Cem, Davis Cem, and Lockridge Cem. These small burial grounds, often tucked away from the main thoroughfares like Railroad St, serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in East Texas. The southern portion of the area features distinctive local water bodies including Eaton Lake and Shelton Lake, reflecting the well-watered character of the Piney Woods region.
