About this map

The master-planned community of Hilltop Lakes defines the central landscape of this Leon County survey, characterized by its intricate chain of recreational water bodies including Cherokee Lake, Lake Tonkawa, and Mirror Lake. Developed as a resort and residential enclave, the area features a dense network of suburban-style streets with names like Golfview Dr and Sammy Snead Dr, centered around the Hilltop Lakes Airport. This modern development stands in contrast to the traditional rural settlements of Wealthy and Normangee that anchor the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with drainage provided by Running Cr and Sandy Cr which feed into Normangee Lake. Local heritage is preserved at sites such as Greer Cem and Normangee Cem, while the rugged topography of Wolfpin Gully and the winding course of Pigeon-Roost Cr illustrate the natural character of the East Texas terrain before reaching the tri-county borders of Robertson and Madison.
