2022 Map of Mallard Hill

About this map

Malakoff and the western outskirts of Athens define the landscape of Henderson County in this modern record of the East Texas post-oak savannah. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of country roads and creek drainages that feed into the massive Cedar Creek Reservoir and Dodd Lake. Settlement patterns are evident in the cluster of community landmarks such as Crescent Heights and several family or church-affiliated burial grounds, including Walnut Creek Cem and Smith Cem. Local infrastructure supports both agricultural and private aviation interests, anchored by the Circle R Ranch Airport south of the primary east-west corridors. The map reveals how the modern road system, including E Royall Blvd and numerous county routes, has integrated older rural homesteads with the growing municipal footprints of the region.
