About this map

Big Cypress Bayou and its winding tributaries define the topography of this Harrison County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a rural network of farm-to-market roads and local routes named for area families, such as St James Rd, Bertha Jackson Rd, and Jewell Gooch Rd. These family-named landmarks often cluster around local points of interest, including the Vickie Lynn Oil Field in the northeast.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Brantly Cemetery, Meadows Cemetery, and Saint James Cemetery, which are spaced across the timbered creek bottoms and high ground. The hydrologic network is dense, featuring Little Cypress Bayou, Rainey Creek, and French Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have long influenced settlement and road placement in this part of East Texas.
