About this map

Overton anchors the southwest corner of this East Texas survey, where residential streets give way to a landscape defined by small settlements and watercourses. To the north and east, the map traces the communities of Red Level, Laird Hill, Leverett's Chapel, and Sexton City, each connected by a network of Farm to Market roads like FM-3053 and FM-2012. The terrain is drained by numerous creeks, including Rabbit Cr and Little Rabbit Cr, which snake through the area's wooded and agricultural tracts.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of burial grounds, such as Henry Cem, Choice Cem, and the Star Memorial Cem. Of particular note is the Kilgore College Demonstration Farm, situated centrally between the major settlements. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the regional infrastructure before further modern development, including smaller bodies of water like Florey Lake and Powers Lake that remain central to the local geography.
