2022 Map of Elkhart Creek

About this map

Elkhart sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the local road network transitions into the wooded creek bottoms of East Texas. The terrain is defined by the extensive drainage systems of Box Cr and Big Elkhart Creek, which converge as they flow toward the southwest. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for locating family burial grounds including Pilgrim Cem, Woodard Cem, Anthim Cem, and Parker Cem, often situated on higher ground above the seasonally wet tributaries. The southern half of the map marks the county line between Anderson Co and Houston Co, a boundary that intersects Elkhart Creek Springs. This modern survey details the persistent rural character of the region, documenting numerous county roads that continue to follow the natural contours of the various creek branches.
