2016 Map of Henderson

About this map

Henderson serves as the focal point of this Rusk County landscape, showing the city's modern layout and its deep connections to local history through numerous burial grounds. The geographic record preserves the locations of the Old City Cem, Thomas-Gaston Cem, and Oberthier Cem, which provide essential touchstones for genealogical research. Surrounding the city center, the terrain is defined by a complex network of small waterways including Chambers Creek, Mill Creek, and Bromley Creek, alongside several named reservoirs like Lake Forrest and Felix Cook Reservoir. To the southwest, the Rusk County Airport and the settlement of Crimcrest mark the continued expansion of the region's infrastructure. This 2016 survey documents the mature integration of residential areas, municipal parks like Lakewood Memorial Park, and the essential transportation corridors that link this East Texas hub to the surrounding countryside.
