About this map

Lake Palestine dominates this landscape, reaching across the boundaries of Henderson, Anderson, and Cherokee Counties following the 1960s impoundment of the Neches River. The terrain transitions from the inundated Fish Bay and Blackburn Bay to the rising elevations of Kickapoo Mountain. Near the southern portion of the lake, the Blackburn Crossing Dam stands as a primary piece of infrastructure, while the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the southeastern corner near Reese.

Local history is deeply rooted in the area's rural landscape, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Wofford Cem and Renfro Cem. The presence of the Kickapoo Battlefield Monument marks a significant historical conflict site. Modern settlement patterns are visible in the lakeside communities of Berryville and Coffee City, where Ledbetter Inlet and Cobb Inlet provide recreational access to the water.
