About this map

Maydelle serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where the local road network converges near the Mt Comfort Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Neches River along the southwestern edge and the prominence of Ghent Mtn to the north. Smaller settlements like Java, Mewshaw, and Mt Hope are scattered throughout, connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes such as FM 2138.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented here, including Berge Cem, Tillman Cem, and Holly Springs Cem. The presence of the Mount Hope School and Mt Hope Cem near the eponymous community highlights a historical rural infrastructure that supported these timber and farming communities. The drainage patterns of One Arm Cr and Gum Cr further illustrate the area's physical geography and historical land use patterns in Cherokee County.
