2022 Map of Berryhill Creek

About this map

Henderson marks the northern edge of this Rusk County landscape, where the terrain begins a slow descent toward the headwaters of the Angelina River. The area is characterized by a dense network of tributaries, including the winding Berryhill Cr and Shawnee Cr, which feed into the river basin near Shelton Lake and Eaton Lake. This topography shaped the early settlement patterns of the region, visible through the numerous family and community burial grounds that dot the countryside. Researchers will find significant genealogical sites such as the Ebenezer Baptist Church Cem and Lockridge Cem. The transition from rural roads like FM 225 S to the more structured grid of Railroad St near the town center highlights the historical importance of transportation corridors in connecting these East Texas communities.
