2010 Map of Celeste

About this map

Celeste serves as a central hub in this Northeast Texas landscape, where the grid of rural roads connects several small communities and family landmarks. The area is defined by the headwaters of major Texas river systems, notably the South Sulphur River and the Cowleech Fork Sabine River, which create a complex drainage network across the terrain. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Nicholson Cemetery and Celeste Cemetery, while the small settlements of Hogeye and Midway illustrate the dispersed nature of local agricultural commerce. The northern edge touches Leonard, while the southern reaches extend toward Kingston. This survey also documents mid-century infrastructure improvements, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 60 Dam and other water management sites, alongside the Chambers Airport near the western boundary.
