2016 Map of Colmesneil

About this map

Colmesneil serves as the central hub of this Tyler County landscape, situated at the junction of HWY 256 and Highway 69. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Williams Creek and Mill Branch which carve through elevations like Blackland Hill and Sand Hill. For genealogists, the map is a detailed resource, pinpointing localized burial sites such as Hickory Grove Cemetery and Steeles Grove Cemetery, along with Egypt Cemetery near the southern edge. The area is also dotted with small water bodies like Rileys Lake, Frog Lake, and Amanda Lake, reflecting the well-watered character of the East Texas piney woods. Numerous secondary roads, such as Old Rockland Road and Recreational Road 255, provide insight into the rural infrastructure and land use patterns of the mid-2010s.
