2022 Map of Cross Cut

About this map

The northern edge of the Coleman and Brown County line is anchored by the community of Cross Plains, where a grid of streets like W 1st St and Fisher St surrounds the Cross Plains Memorial Park. This rural landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the numerous large impoundments including the Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir and McDonough Lake. Moving south toward Rocky Oaks, the terrain is carved by the drainages of Turkey Creek and Dooley Creek, which eventually feed into the broader basin of Pecan Bayou. Local history researchers will find several well-placed landmarks, from the Dressy Cemetery in the northwest to the Cross Cut Cemetery in the southeast, providing clear markers for family homesteads situated among the winding county roads.
