About this map

Kilgore anchors the southeastern corner of this East Texas survey, where the landscape transitions from the urban edges of the city into the rolling, creek-cut woodlands of the Smith and Gregg county line. The topography is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the Sabine River and its numerous tributaries such as Rabbit Cr, Prairie Cr, and Peavine Cr. At the heart of the map, Liberty City sits at a crossroads of commerce and local transit, surrounded by residential developments with street names like Spokane St and Meridian St.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Rock Springs Cem in the north and Goodman Cem near the elevation of Goodman Mtn. The presence of Black Lake and Horseshoe Lake near the river indicates the dynamic nature of the bottomlands, while the intricate system of farm-to-market roads like FM 2207 reveals the post-war expansion of the oil-rich region.
