2011 Map of Crecy

About this map

The small settlements of Crecy and Centerville anchor this portion of Trinity County, where a complex network of waterways dictates the local landscape. The map reveals how local roads like Chic Watson Rd and Moore Cemetery Rd navigate between the drainages of Black Lake Creek and Mossy Creek. This area's rural character is emphasized by the presence of several established burial grounds, including Moore Cemetery, McClain Cemetery, and Bennett Cemetery, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing the inhabitants of these East Texas timberlands. The hydrological pattern is particularly dense in the south, where Scrub Creek, Piney Creek, and Alabama Creek converge, creating a rugged environment that has historically influenced the placement of farms and transit routes such as the Helmic-Centerville Rd.
