About this map

New Summerfield and the eastern outskirts of Jacksonville anchor this survey of the East Texas landscape, where low ridges like Barber Hill rise above a complex network of creeks. Small, established communities such as Turney, Craft, and Gallatin are linked by a dense web of county roads that navigate the headwaters of Mud Creek and Ragsdale Creek. The area is characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Jarratt Cemetery and Vinson Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Cherokee County.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, from the recreational Jacksonville Club Lake to smaller impoundments like Pine Crest Lake and Turnbow Lake. The map details the transition from the structured street plan of Jacksonville into the rural reaches of the Piney Woods, where landmarks such as the Still Waters Memorial Garden and various creek crossings define the local character. This document reveals the enduring pattern of small-town settlement and rural land use that continues to shape the region.
