About this map

The Henderson Commercial Historic District anchors this 2013 survey, detailing the urban grid and expanding residential neighborhoods of Rusk County. Commercial development and historic preservation converge in the heart of Henderson, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks including Beaver Run, Shawnee Cr, and Chambers Cr. Residential expansion is evident in areas like Crimcrest and Lake View, with public spaces like Lakewood Memorial Park providing greenbelts between housing developments and natural water bodies such as Lake Forrest.

Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites surrounding the city, from the central Old City Cem to outlying locations like Mt Vernon Cem and Thomas Cem. The infrastructure reflects a modernizing East Texas economy, evidenced by the Rusk County Airport to the west and a dense network of county roads that have replaced earlier rural trails. The terrain remains characterized by its intricate drainage patterns, with smaller bodies like Wiley Webb Lake and Willow Lake dotting the outskirts.
