About this map

Leagueville and the small settlement of New York anchor this East Texas landscape as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The map captures a transition from the developing eastern edge of Lake Athens to the creeks and ridges of rural Henderson County. A network of waterways, including the curiously named Alligator Branch and Muscadine Branch, flows through the undulating terrain, punctuated by landmarks like Tater Hill Mountain and the low-lying Flat.

Smaller residential and recreational water bodies such as Steele Lakes, Hume Lake, and Echo Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the region's reliance on both natural drainage and man-made reservoirs. The presence of the Athens Corp Bdy on the western edge indicates the gradual expansion of the nearby county seat toward these once-isolated rural communities like Baxter. This survey offers a detailed look at the local geography before subsequent decades of suburban growth.
