About this map

Lilly Creek and Little Cypress Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this East Texas landscape, which is marked by numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks. The area around Bettie and Union Hill shows a transition from agricultural use to low-density residential development, with a network of roads named for local flora and fauna such as Lupine Rd and Jack Rabbit Rd.

Genealogists can find significant local history at the Zion Hill Cemetery and Lone Mountain Cemetery, while the presence of Smith Siding points to the region's historic rail-dependent transportation. The eastern edge of the map rises toward the Barnwell Mountains, where Camp Gilmont and the Gilmont Lookout provide a high-ground perspective over the surrounding creek valleys and the scattered communities of Bethlehem, Friendship, and Midway.
