About this map

Elkhart sits at the northern edge of this East Texas survey, where the town street grid transitions into a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes. The landscape is defined by the crossing of the Anderson Co Houston Co line, separating the headwaters of several drainages that feed into the larger river systems of the region. Notable watercourses include Big Elkhart Creek, Ioni Cr, and Squirrel Cr, which wind through the lowlands between undulating ridges.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this modern topographic record, including Anthom Cem and Parker Cem, along with the Hauser Property Cem. These small, localized cemeteries are often the last visible markers of earlier family homesteads in this rural corridor. The road network, featuring names like Bonners Ferry Rd and Jones Rd, reflects the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of the area south of the town center.
