About this map

Lake Fork Creek and its many tributaries, including Buckeye Branch and Dement Branch, carve through this section of Rains County. The landscape is dotted with small settlements like Point, Richland, and Prospect, connected by a network of county roads. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, such as the Richland-Benton Hill Cemetery and Worcester-Cooper Cemetery, which suggest a long-established rural community structure centered around these small hubs.

The southern edge of the map shows the outskirts of Emory, while the central portion is dominated by agricultural drainage patterns leading toward Montgomery Lake and its associated dam. The presence of numerous small ponds and named water features like Shuffle Creek and Moss Wash Branch indicates a terrain defined by consistent water management and local drainage basins, typical of the East Texas plains before they reach more significant reservoirs.
