2013 Map of De Berry

About this map

Elysian Fields and De Berry anchor this rural East Texas landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including W Fork Socagee Cr, Jackson Cr, and Tuttle Cr. The survey reveals a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds that speak to the area's deep genealogical roots, from the Woodley Cem in the northwest to the Fourmile Cem in the south. This distribution of sites like Markrider Cem and Bracken Cem suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed family homesteads rather than centralized urban growth. Near the settlement of De Berry, a cluster of sites including Evergreen Cem and Ruck Cem marks the local community's center, while Furrh Lake stands out as a primary water feature in the northeast corner.
