2013 Map of Harvard

About this map

Big Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Walkers Creek and Hart Creek, define the drainage patterns north of the Mount Pleasant Regional Airport. This 2013 survey reveals a landscape where rural community life and regional infrastructure meet, centered around settlements like Harvard and Macedonia. The presence of the Northeast Texas Community College campus in the northeast and residential developments such as Pecan Heights in the south reflect the area's growth. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the isolated Concord Cemetery and Cook Cemetery to the Traylor Cemetery near Spring Hill. The map also documents numerous small bodies of water, such as Sandin Lake and Hopkins Lake, which are characteristic of the East Texas wetland systems before they feed into the larger creek basins.
