About this map

Emille sits near the crossing of local routes in this part of Tyler County, serving as a focal point for a region defined by a dense network of winding creeks and branches. The terrain is intricately carved by waterways such as Theuvenins Cr, Little Wolf Cr, and the appropriately named Drunkards Br. These drainages dictate the local road patterns, which include several county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1746.

Cultural landmarks and infrastructure are scattered throughout the landscape, including the Hopewell Cem and Birdwell Lake. The survey also documents modern land use through labels like the Tyler Co Sanitary Land Fill Rd. For those tracing local history, the names of various branches—such as Ratcliff Br, Reids Br, and Holmes Br—provide a record of the families and individuals who settled and worked these East Texas woods.
