About this map

The small settlement of Flo serves as a central point in this rural portion of Leon County, where a dense network of family and community cemeteries highlights the area's deep-rooted genealogy. These sites, including Boykin Chapel Cem, Lummus Cem, and Stevens Cem, are scattered across a landscape defined by the winding tributaries of the Upper Keechi Cr watershed. The terrain is intricately carved by numerous drainages such as Buffalo Cr, Wheelock Cr, and Red Oak Br, which feed into larger systems south and east.

Secondary roads like FM 831 and FM 1511 connect these remote homesteads and burial grounds, providing a window into the land use patterns of East Texas in the early 21st century. Significant water features like Schweinle Lake and the wetlands flanking the creeks contrast with the higher elevations where Brushy Cem and Parker Cem are situated, illustrating how early settlers utilized the topography for both industry and memorialization.
