About this map

The town of Chester serves as the focal point of this Tyler County landscape, situated along a primary corridor where residential streets like Yellow Jacket Dr and Valley Rd meet the rural hinterland. This modern-era survey reveals a high density of ancestral sites, including several family or community burying grounds such as Mahaffey Cem, Sterling Cem, and Old Mount Zion Cem. These sites are distributed across a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes, rising to its highest point at Big Hill in the north.

The drainage network is particularly intricate here, with numerous watercourses like Russell Cr, Wolf Br, and Otter Cr dissecting the timbered lands and pastures. Notable tracts such as the Enon Hunting Pasture suggest the continued importance of the local woodlands for recreation and land management. Further south, the map identifies more remote landmarks like Hardshell Cem near the banks of Williams Cr, providing a detailed view of the rural road network that connects these disparate points of local interest.
