2022 Map of Cayuga

About this map

Bethel serves as a central point in this rural landscape near the border of Anderson Co and Freestone Co. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the broad Trinity River and Duck Lake in the south, while numerous named branches like Mitchell Br and Bee Br drain the interior. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural and dispersed, connected by county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 2706. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as Judson Cem, Bethel Cem, and Jackson Quarters Cem, which anchor the history of long-standing local families to specific corners of the quadrangle. Private infrastructure, such as the Lochridge Ranch Airport and various springs like DD Spring, points to the specialized land use that characterizes this part of East Texas.
