2016 Map of Grapeland

About this map

Grapeland sits at the northern edge of this Houston County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a network of country roads and creek drainages. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Murdock Cem, Milligan Cem, and McCarthy Chapel Cem. These sites are often found on high ground overlooking the complex web of local waterways, including Bennett Cr, Stroud Br, and the Tyer Br drainage system. South of the main town, Latexo Cem and Bruner Airport mark the vicinity of Latexo. The terrain is dotted with several significant water bodies like Barfield Lake and M R Murchison Lake, while the eastern portion of the survey is characterized by the headwaters of San Pedro Cr and the notable Boiling Spring.
