2019 Map of Cunningham Creek

About this map

The dense network of wetlands and seasonal drainages along the Black Cypress Bayou dominates this East Texas landscape. Straddling the boundary between Cass Co and Marion Co, the area is characterized by a complex system of ponds and sloughs, including Flag Pond, Pruitt Lake, and Wallace Lake. These water bodies are fed by numerous small tributaries such as Cunningham Cr, Bear Cr, and Cypress Br, creating a topography where early road development was dictated by the soft ground. Local genealogy is anchored by family-named landmarks and resting places like Henderson Cem, Bear Creek Cem, and Simmons Cem found near the rural road crossings.
