2013 Map of Hurstown

About this map

Hurstown and the surrounding rural landscape of Shelby County are defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries that speak to generations of local settlement. The terrain transitions from the heights of Big Hill down to the drainage basins of Patroon Bayou and Crooked Cr, where numerous small tributaries like Rascal Cr and Wooten Cr carve through the East Texas woods. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at established communities such as McClelland and East Liberty, alongside isolated landmarks like Davis Ranch. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from Biggers Cem and Center Ridge Cem in the northwest to E Liberty Cem and Rather Cem in the southeast. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where Farm-to-Market roads and county lanes connect these historical points of interest.
