2016 Map of Coon Creek Lake

About this map

The county boundary between Henderson and Anderson Counties bisects a landscape defined by an intricate network of creeks and small impoundments. In this region, water dictates the layout of the land, with Catfish Creek and Coon Creek feeding into numerous named bodies of water such as Coon Creek Lake, Catfish Cr Ranch Lake, and Murchison Lake. The terrain is punctuated by small peaks like Pine Grove Hill, while the human history of the area is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Owen Cem, Modoc Cem, and Price Chapel Cem. A dense grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1615 and FM 2970 connect these quiet homesteads and water features. The concentration of private ranch roads and small, family-named lakes like Lunceford Lake and Soutter Lake suggests a modern era of decentralized agricultural holdings and private recreation near the county line.
