About this map

Elkhart sits at the northern edge of this East Texas survey, where the rolling wooded terrain of the Piney Woods meets the headwaters of several significant drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Elkhart Creek, which flows south toward the Anderson and Houston County line. This 2016 record of the area highlights the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous small watercourses like Box Creek and Ioni Creek carve through the countryside.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Anthom Cemetery, the Parker Cemetery, and the Hauser Property Cemetery. These locations, along with natural landmarks such as Elkhart Creek Springs, provide concrete points of reference for families whose roots are tied to this corner of Anderson and Houston counties. The network of county roads shown provides a clear picture of property access and rural settlement patterns in the mid-2010s.
