2016 Map of Colliers Creek

About this map

The small community of Gill serves as a primary reference point in this landscape of East Texas, situated just south of the interstate corridor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Colliers Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Quapaw Creek, which weave through the lowlands of Harrison County. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural environment where land use is tied to family legacies and historical transit routes, visible in the numerous named thoroughfares such as Boards Ferry Road and Byron Terry Road. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as Blocker Cemetery and Gill Cemetery, which remain as physical links to the area's earlier generations of settlers. The presence of routes like Harris House Road and Bill Davis Road further suggests a landscape where property and genealogy are closely intertwined.
