About this map

Coon Creek Lake and its surrounding watershed define this pocket of East Texas, where the landscape is a network of small lakes and creek branches. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a rural area heavily shaped by water management and localized agriculture. Significant water bodies like Murchison Lake, Slaughter Lakes, and the Catfish Cr Ranch Lake dominate the terrain, interspersed with family-named landmarks such as Shelton Mill Br and Pickle Br.

For those tracing family roots or local land use, several historic burial grounds are noted, including Owen Cem, Modoc Cem, and Price Chapel Cem. The map reveals a transition from the higher ground of Pine Grove Hill down toward the confluence of Catfish Cr and Wolf Cr. The road network, comprising numerous county routes like Mill Run RD and Carrol Spring RD, connects these scattered settlements and cemeteries, illustrating the enduring layout of rural Henderson County communities.
