1910 Map of Linden

About this map

The county seat of Linden anchors the southern edge of this survey, serving as a hub for the early twentieth-century timber and farming communities of Cass County. The terrain is defined by the Cusseta Mts and Texas Mts, which rise above a network of drainages including Overcup Creek and Fraxier Creek that flow toward the Sulphur River at the northern boundary. This era in East Texas history is visible through the concentration of decentralized rural infrastructure, such as the T.P. Sawmill and numerous neighborhood centers like Douglassville and Cusseta. Genealogists will find a high density of country schools and churches, including O'Farrell School, New Hope School, and Corinth Church, alongside early transportation routes like the North East Texas Road and several segments of Tram Road, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to the lumber industry.
