2022 Map of Elderville

About this map

The boundary between Gregg Co and Rusk Co cuts across this East Texas landscape, dominated by the winding fingers of Lake Cherokee. This modern survey reveals a region shaped by both its aviation infrastructure and its rural heritage. To the north, the East Texas Regional Airport occupies a significant footprint, while the surrounding terrain is a network of small creeks and branches including Bacon Cr, Tiawichi Cr, and Lee Cr that feed into the central bayou system. Local history is anchored by numerous community burial grounds such as Elderville Cem, Chalk Hill Cem, and Stewart Cem, which mark the small settlements of Monroe, Stewart, and Oak Hill. The presence of Beaver Marsh and dense creek networks illustrates the complex hydrology of the Sabine River basin tributaries that define this area of the Piney Woods.
