2019 Map of Lake Leon

About this map

Upper Keechi Creek dominates this section of Leon County, winding through a landscape defined by its creek bottoms and rural road networks. The small community of Nineveh serves as a local anchor near the southern boundary, situated at the junction of several county roads including FM 3178. This 2019 survey documents a region where water management and agriculture are central, with Lake Leon and Birch Creek feeding the larger drainage system of the Keechi watershed. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, such as North Creek Cemetery, Lamon Cemetery, and Tubbs Cemetery, providing critical spatial context for ancestral research in this part of East Texas. The network of farm-to-market roads and numbered county routes reveals a persistent pattern of rural settlement and land use characteristic of the region's modern agricultural era.
