About this map

Holly Springs and the rural fringes of Garrison anchor this East Texas landscape at the edge of the Nacogdoches and Rusk county line. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, where Naconiche Creek and Golondrina Creek carve through the wooded hills. These drainages, including the aptly named Schoolhouse Branch and Mill Creek, suggest the historical locations of early community infrastructure and local industry that once supported these dispersed settlements.

Water management and local land use are visible through features like McKinney Lake and Curtis Smith Lake. Small local cemeteries, marked simply as Cem, are tucked away near the headwaters of Tiger Branch and Crawford Br, providing essential touchstones for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of the Piney Woods. The presence of an Indefinite Boundary near Ford Lake Branch highlights the complex surveying history of these densely wooded creek bottoms.
