2011 Map of Farrar

About this map

Lake Limestone dominates the central and western reaches of this East Texas landscape, its intricate shoreline creating numerous inlets fed by local drainages like Coots Branch and Lies Branch. The settlement pattern is defined by rural crossroads and small communities such as Farrar and New Hope, which are interconnected by a network of Farm to Market roads and local county routes. To the north, the terrain transitions into more elevated ground where Fair Oaks and Lost Prairie are situated amidst a landscape of scattered lakes including Kennedy Lake and Sims Lake. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented on this sheet, including Oaks Cemetery, Holt Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery. The presence of Mine Creek in the southeast and the Texaco Svc Rd further north suggests the ongoing role of resource extraction and infrastructure in Limestone County at the time of this survey.
