About this map

Blackjack and Griffin anchor this rural landscape in Cherokee County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of creek systems and small family-named cemeteries. The drainage patterns of Bridge Cr and Campground Cr reveal a terrain heavily dissected by water, while the presence of the Harrison Farm Airport north of Griffin indicates the continued utility of private aviation in the region's agricultural economy.

Genealogists and local historians can find several key burial sites including Knoxville Cem, Fitch Cem, and Sanders Cem. To the east, Concord sits near the headwaters of Grissom Cr, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the lowlands of Sampson Cr and the drainage of Willis Ditch. The road network, consisting of Farm to Market routes like FM 13 and local routes such as Bell Church Rd, connects these scattered settlements across the rolling Texas countryside.
