About this map

Chester serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where several rural routes and the Chester Hwy converge. The area is characterized by numerous family and community burial sites, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. These include Sterling Cem and Mahaffey Cem south of the main settlement, and Old Mt Zion Cem to the west.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, such as Russell Cr and Otter Cr, which thread through the piney woods. To the northwest, the settlement of Peach Tree Village stands near the headwaters of Rocky Br. Notable landmarks like Big Hill in the north and the isolated Hardshell Cem in the southeast corner illustrate the dispersed nature of development in this part of Tyler County during the early 21st century.
