2022 Map of De Berry

About this map

The Harrison County and Panola County line cuts across this landscape, where the settlements of Elysian Fields and De Berry anchor a network of rural roads and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Tuttle Creek, Jackson Creek, and the West Fork Socagee Creek, which feed into Furrh Lake in the northeast. This 2022 survey reveals a landscape deeply tied to its lineage, with over a dozen burial grounds such as Harkrider Cemetery, Bell Fountain Cemetery, and Shady Grove Cemetery scattered throughout the piney woods and creek bottoms. The presence of Gaswell Road and several private lanes suggests the modern industrial footprint of energy extraction alongside traditional homesteads. Prominent heights like Mount Zion overlook the winding paths of Gum Slough and Mill Creek, maintaining a topographical record of East Texas before extensive development.
