2016 Map of Kirkpatrick Lake

About this map

Theuvenins Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Sevenmile Br and Thouching Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Tyler County landscape. Small water bodies like Kirkpatrick Lake and Drakes Br Lake are scattered among a complex network of county and timber roads, indicating a rural economy tied to the land and its resources. Local history is anchored by the Goalsbee Cem in the north and Allison Cem in the south, providing vital touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of East Texas. The prominence of Pope Mill Rd and various Timber Roads suggests a history of localized milling and forestry. This survey captures a moment in time where the natural creek systems like Big Cypress Cr and Hunter Cr dictate the layout of the transportation network, from FM 1013 Rd to the many numbered local routes.
