2013 Map of Marshall West

About this map

E Texas Baptist Univ and Wiley Coll anchor the eastern urban edge of this 2013 landscape, where the street grid of western Marshall transitions into the rural reaches of Harrison County. The area is defined by a network of local roads such as Old Longview Rd and Noonday Rd that connect the small communities of Nesbitt and Quiney. This digital-era survey reveals how modern infrastructure overlies an older rural geography, with multiple family and church burial grounds like New Zion Cem and Tage Cem scattered among the timbered creek bottoms. Natural drainage is dictated by numerous waterways including Potters Cr, Lawrence Cr, and Rainey Cr. Industrial activity is noted north of the city at the Pettit Oil Field, showing the continued significance of resource extraction alongside the region's prominent educational institutions.
