About this map

Hallsville serves as the primary hub of this East Texas landscape, centered on the Texas and Pacific railroad line that cuts through the southern reaches of Harrison County. The area’s settlement pattern is defined by a network of rural communities and country churches, including Carterville, Mulberry Springs, and Noonday. The terrain is deeply etched by a series of drainage systems like Little Cypress Bayou and Moccasin Creek, which create a complex topography of ridges and bottoms.

Evidence of local industry and early infrastructure is scattered throughout the hills, from the site of Walkers Mill on Gum Creek to the Gravel Pit and various Radio Towers marking the skyline. For those tracing family history, the map preserves the locations of several important gathering places such as Springhill Cem, Antioch Ch, and Evergreen Ch, alongside smaller settlements like Keokuk and Lansing along the rail corridor.
