About this map

The town of McRae anchors the northern portion of this landscape, where the local street grid transitions into a network of rural roads and winding waterways. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Bull Creek, Long Creek, and Dry Branch converge toward the larger Cypress Bayou to the south. This hydrological pattern has historically shaped land use in White County, as evidenced by the distribution of small settlements and family-named landmarks away from the immediate floodplains.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Cheek Cemetery near Cane Creek and Bass Cemetery further south. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the smaller community of Edwards and the residential layout of Young Subdivision. Distinctive water features like Cobb Lake, managed by the Kinley Lake Dam, and White Lake illustrate the local management of the area's many tributaries, including Pigeon Roost Creek and Hickory Plains Creek.
