2016 Map of Galilee

About this map

Galilee sits at the heart of this landscape south of Huntsville, where the drainage of the W Fork San Jacinto River carves a complex network of creeks and branches. The settlement pattern is defined by several rural landmarks essential for local history research, including the Ebenezer Cem and Martha Chapel Cem. The terrain is notably water-rich, featuring natural springs such as Mutt Young Spr, Booker Spr, and Roberts Spr, along with named water bodies like Hendricks Lake and Muecke Lake. This 2016 survey documents a transition from established ranch roads like Ward Ranch Rd to newer residential clusters along White Oak Dr and Pine Breeze St. The intricate hydrography, including McGary Cr and White Oak Cr, illustrates the heavy timber and drainage patterns typical of this portion of Walker County.
