2022 Map of Coopers Chapel

About this map

The Sulphur River and White Oak Creek define the low-lying, water-rich landscape of the Northeast Texas borderlands where Titus, Morris, and Red River counties meet. This survey reveals a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, including Long Lake Slough, Duck Slash, and numerous small lakes like Blue Lake and Grassy Lake. The distribution of Evergreen Cem, Coopers Chapel Cem, and Mount Moriah Cem suggests the historical footprint of rural communities established on the higher ground between these drainages. Transportation is dominated by a modern corridor cutting southwest-to-northeast across the bottomlands, contrasting with older rural routes like FM 71 and Union Chapel RD that follow the natural rises in the terrain.
