About this map

The boundary between Cass Co and Marion Co cuts across this landscape of creeks and family cemeteries in East Texas. The terrain is defined by the intricate winding of Black Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Cypress Br, Blue Br, and Bear Cr. This network of waterways creates numerous ponds and marshy areas such as Flag Pond and Whipple Pond, alongside several small lakes like Hughes Lake and Pruitt Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these woods, including the Henderson Cem, Caves Springs Cem, and Wells Chapel Cem. The map preserves the locations of several community landmarks like the New Antioch Cem and Old Bear Creek Cem, connected by a web of county roads. These features suggest a long-established rural settlement pattern where life centered on the local creeks and family-named landmarks.
