2010 Map of Elkhart Creek

About this map

Big Elkhart Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Creek, Ioni Creek, and Box Creek, define the landscape of this East Texas terrain. The network of local roads reveals a rural settlement pattern deeply rooted in family history, as evidenced by several small burial sites. Genealogists and local historians can find specific landmarks such as Anthom Cemetery, Parker Cemetery, and the Hauser Property Cemetery tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Historic transit routes are still visible through the naming of roads like Bonners Ferry Rd and Old Pilgrim Rd, suggesting older river crossings and pioneer paths. The landscape is primarily divided by county and local roads, including Oak Grove Rd and County Line Rd, which weave around the winding creek beds and low-lying drainages typical of the Anderson County region.
