About this map

The settlement of Harleton serves as a central hub in this East Texas landscape, positioned where FM 450 and FM 2208 converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Lick Cr and Bear Cr, which drain into the larger Little Cypress Bayou flowing through the southern bottomlands. The northern boundary is marked by the presence of Lake O' the Pines, a significant regional water feature that shapes the local road network and property lines.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including several burial grounds such as Center Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Eagle Creek Cem. The transition from the rural community of Jackson in the north to the more developed grid around Harleton illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of Harrison and Marion counties. Smaller water bodies like Hope Springs Lake and winding creeks like Brushy Cr and Pope Cr further characterize this heavily wooded and well-watered timber region.
