About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point of this northeast Texas survey, showing a landscape defined by significant infrastructure and growing residential neighborhoods. To the north, the city is supported by a string of three major reservoirs: Greenville Reservoir No 3, Greenville Reservoir No 4, and Greenville Reservoir No 5, which are situated near the Filtration Plant. The rail network is particularly dense here, featuring the St Louis Southwestern, Missouri-Kansas-Texas, and Louisiana and Arkansas lines converging on the town.

Beyond the urban core, small settlements and rural landmarks provide clear markers for genealogical research. Communities like Peniel, Tidwell, and Neylandville are visible, alongside family and community spaces such as Liberty Cem and the Sandy Creek Community Hall. The terrain is drained by the South Sulphur River and the Cowleech Fork Sabine River, reflecting the complex river-and-rail economy of Hunt County during the early 1960s.
