2016 Map of Jacksonville East

About this map

Jacksonville serves as the primary urban center for this portion of Cherokee County, situated at a major convergence of regional roads and highways. The surrounding landscape is defined by its transition from organized municipal streets to a pastoral network of county roads and family-named landmarks. Settlements like Turney, Craft, and Gallatin are clustered along the major transport corridors, reflecting the enduring rural character of East Texas. Notable for genealogists are the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including the Tilley Cem, Staton Cem, and Jarrett Cem. Hydrological features like Mud Cr and Caney Cr snake through the eastern reaches, while Pine Crest Lake and Turnbow Lake dot the center of the sheet. The presence of Bolton Airport and the complex web of state and county routes underscore the area's role as a regional transit hub.
