2013 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Little Cypress Creek meanders across this Northeast Texas landscape, defining the topography between several small rural communities in Upshur County. The area is characterized by scattered settlements including Glenwood, Bethlehem, and Graceton, each connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and local lanes named for birds and flowers. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several rural burial grounds such as Glenwood Cemetery and Bethlehem Cemetery. The presence of the New Diana Oil Field in the eastern portion of the sheet reflects the local energy economy, while numerous small water bodies like Barton Lake and McClellan Lake are peppered throughout the drainages of Clear Creek and Bog Creek.
