2016 Map of Coopers Chapel

About this map

Sulphur River and the complex wetlands of the Texas bottomlands define this landscape along the border of Titus, Red River, and Morris counties. The river meanders through a dense network of sloughs and lakes, including Long Lake Slough, Grassy Lake, and Lost Lake, highlighting the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use. To the south, the terrain transitions into more established upland areas where rural communities like Coopers Chapel, Evergreen, and Mount Moriah are situated. These settlements are often centered around local landmarks such as Evergreen Cem and Mount Moriah Cem, which serve as vital points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of White Oak Creek and numerous smaller tributaries like Smackover Cr and Snake Cr further illustrates the intricate water systems that supported these Northeast Texas communities into the early 21st century.
