2016 Map of Keltys

About this map

The industrial and residential growth of Lufkin anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the historically significant company town of Keltys and the community of Hudson show the transition from dense piney woods to urban development. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of county roads and creek systems, such as Kurkindall Cr and Jack Cr, that drain the undulating terrain northwest of the city center. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including the Wallace Cem, McCarty Cem, and the Dubose-Fairchild Cem near Blix. Further west, the map details more dispersed settlements like Granville and Peavy, interspersed with natural features like Walker Lake and Blackburn Lake. The spatial arrangement of these sites reflects the long-standing timber and rail heritage of this region of East Texas.
