2010 Map of Kirkpatrick Lake

About this map

Theuvenins Creek and its many tributaries, including Thouching Creek and Turkey Creek, dominate this landscape in Tyler County. The presence of the East Hillister Oil Field indicates the localized industrial character of the region during this era, while small rural burial sites like Goalsbee Cemetery and Allison Cemetery provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. Water management and local recreation are centered around Drakes Branch Lake, featuring the Drakes Branch Lake Dam. The map also traces a dense network of county roads, such as Allison Cemetery Rd and Pope Mill Rd, which connect these water bodies and historical sites. The convergence of numerous branches and creeks, including Big Cypress Creek and Spurlock Branch, creates a complex drainage system that has historically shaped the settlement patterns and land use in this part of East Texas.
