About this map

The Trinity River winds along the western edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between Anderson and Leon counties. This riparian corridor is characterized by a series of oxbow features and named wetlands including Spring Lake and Criminal Lake, which define the low-lying drainage patterns of the river valley. The upland terrain is carved by multiple tributaries such as Manson Cr and Box Cr, which cut through the rolling topography of this rural East Texas region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout the area. Scattered across the network of county roads are the Parker Cem, Davis Cem, Myrtle Springs Cem, Bluff Spring Cem, and the Lee Washington Cem. These sites, often located near historical crossroads or minor watercourses like Cedar Cr, provide a clear picture of the settlement pattern and ancestral footprint in the rural corridor between Palestine and the Trinity bottomlands.
