2019 Map of Colmesneil

About this map

Colmesneil serves as the central hub of this East Texas survey, where the convergence of FM 256 and FM 1745 anchors a landscape defined by intricate creek systems and local landmarks. The topography is marked by notable elevations such as Blackland Hill and Sand Hill, which rise above the many drainage branches including One-Mile Br and Tantrough Br. For family historians, the presence of several burial sites like Egypt Cem and Steeles Grove Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing local lineages. The eastern portion of the area features a series of small water bodies, including Rileys Lake, Amanda Lake, and Frog Lake, situated near the headwaters of Wolf Cr. This network of seasonal branches and named hills illustrates the traditional settlement patterns and rural infrastructure of Tyler County in the early 21st century.
