About this map

Bullard and the surrounding East Texas landscape are defined by a network of creeks and numerous family cemeteries that anchor the local geography. The terrain is divided by the Smith Co Cherokee Co line, with the town of Bullard sitting at the southern junction of several local routes like Lynch ST and W Henderson ST. To the north, the modern infrastructure of W Loop 49 skirts the edge of Tyler, while older settlements such as Gresham, Flint, and New Hope remain distinct community hubs.

The presence of scattered burial grounds, including Antioch Cem, Crow Cem, and Douglas Cem, provides a map of early settlement patterns across the wooded drainage basins of W Mud Cr and Shackleford Cr. Landmarks like the Pineridge Airport and the waters of Rhome Spring indicate a mix of 21st-century development and historical water sources, while small tributaries like Stone Chimney Cr suggest the early homesteading roots of the region.
