2022 Map of Colmesneil

About this map

Colmesneil serves as the primary hub of this Tyler County landscape, situated at the junction of modern routes like S Wheeler Ave and Hwy 256. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage basins, including Williams Creek and Wolf Creek, which carve through the elevations of Blackland Hill and Sand Hill. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting several distinct burial sites such as Colmesneil-Mount Zion Cem and the more remote Hickory Grove Cem. The local hydrology is further highlighted by Rileys Lake and numerous named branches like Tanyard Br and Silver Run Br, illustrating the area's well-watered topography. The persistence of family-named roads and landmarks, including Smith Jones Rd and Enloe Spring, suggests a deeply rooted community structure maintained well into the twenty-first century.
