About this map

Marshall anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the historic campus of Wiley College and its associated Wiley College Cem signify the deep-rooted cultural importance of this Harrison County hub. The area to the west transitions into a pattern of rural family settlements and church-centered communities, particularly around Nesbitt. This region is remarkably dense with family and community burial grounds, from the Muckleroy Cem in the southwest to the Macedonia Cem in the north, reflecting generations of continuous settlement and local heritage.

Drainage systems like Lawrence Creek and Potters Creek carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of historic farm-to-market roads and long-standing landmarks such as Ebenezer Baptist Church Cem. The map illustrates the modernization of a classic East Texas landscape, where traditional landmarks like the Sunny Hill Cem and Taylor Cem sit adjacent to newer developments like the Oak Haven Rehabilitation Center Cem.
