2010 Map of Chandler

About this map

Lake Palestine dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its waters meeting the Neches River and Prairie Creek to the north. The town of Chandler sits at a crossroads of growth, where the Old Tyler Rd and Old Chandler Hwy intersect. The map documents a transition toward residential development with areas like Pleasant Retreat Acres, yet maintains deep ties to local heritage through a concentration of family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find the locations of Macedonia Cemetery, Sevenleague Cemetery, Hudson J Cemetery, and Pleasant Retreat Cemetery clearly marked. To the east, the edge of Tyler Pounds Field indicates the proximity of regional infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by a series of small, dammed water bodies, including Peveto Lake, Lost Pine Lake, and Lake Placid, reflecting the importance of water management in the Smith County countryside.
