About this map

Jefferson serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, situated at the confluence where Black Cypress Bayou meets the larger Big Cypress Bayou. The town's grid is dense with local history, featuring several dedicated burial grounds including Oakwood Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Mount Sinai Cem. This area, once a vital river port, is shown here with its modern street layout and the winding watercourses that shaped its early development.

To the north, the landscape transitions into a network of creeks and timbered tracts, punctuated by small settlements like Lodi and Prospect. Genealogists and researchers will find value in the specific placement of the Old Foundry Cem near Kitchen Cr, and the positioning of local landmarks such as Manning Field. The map meticulously details the drainage patterns of Scotts Cr and Hasty Cr, illustrating how the bayou system continues to dominate the geography of Marion County.
