2012 Map of Cross Roads

About this map

Cross Roads and the surrounding Henderson County countryside are defined by a dense network of creeks and small, privately named lakes in this 2012 survey. The landscape is dominated by the drainage systems of Wildcat Cr, Prairie Cr, and Barron Cr, which feed numerous water bodies such as McElvaney Lake, Nichols Lake, and the larger Gator Lake to the south. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Willow Springs Cem, Post Oak Cem, and Patterson Cem, marking long-established family and community ties. Economic activity is represented by the Cayuga Oil Field in the southwest and the Deer Meadow Ranch Airport. The settlement of Shady Oaks sits near the northern boundary, connected to the rest of the quadrangle by Farm to Market Roads 59 and 2970.
