2016 Map of Margie

About this map

Marquez and Flynn anchor this pocket of Leon County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek branches and small impoundments. The terrain is deeply etched by waterways like Pigeon Roost Cr and Buck Cr, creating a complex drainage pattern that has historically influenced the placement of rural roads. Several private and county roads, such as Old Flynn Rd, weave between these drainages, connecting scattered homesteads to the more established settlements. This area reflects a quiet, rural character typical of East Texas, where small lakes like Cheney Lake, Frossard Lake, and Ponderosa Lake are interspersed with family landmarks. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Green Cem and White Cem, two key sites for tracing the early inhabitants of the Margie vicinity. The concentration of labeled "branches"—including Sand Br, Vestal Br, and Tomlin Br—illustrates the intricate hydrology that has shaped agricultural and property boundaries for generations.
