2022 Map of Kilgore SW

About this map

Overton and New London anchor the southern portion of this East Texas survey, where the rolling landscape is defined by the extensive drainage basins of Rabbit Cr and Little Rabbit Cr. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including the Leveretts Chapel Family Cem and the Rocky Mount Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists studying the families of the Rusk and Smith county lines. The northern section transitions toward the outskirts of Kilgore and the community of Laird Hill. Water features like Powers Lake and Florey Lake dot the terrain, which is interlaced with a network of rural routes such as Old Tyler Hwy and Reid Switch Rd, reflecting the region's long-established settlement patterns and agricultural roots.
