About this map

The western edge of Marshall anchors this 2016 survey, where the expanding city grid meets the wooded creek bottoms of Harrison County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Potters Creek and Cold Water Creek, with the settlement of Nesbitt situated to the northwest along the historic Highway 154 corridor. Institutional history is prominent on this map, which details the campuses of Wiley College and East Texas Baptist University on the city's western flank.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds preserved throughout the area, including Tage Cemetery, Grover Cemetery, and Nesbitt Cemetery. The transition from urban streets like Cooper Street to rural routes such as Pig Pen Road and Old Macedonia Road illustrates the persistent rural character of the land just beyond the city limits of Marshall during the early twenty-first century.
