About this map

Middlebourne and its surrounding rural communities are defined by the intricate winding of Middle Island Creek, which snakes through this part of Tyler County. The settlement patterns follow the creek and its numerous tributaries, with clusters of activity at Bridgeway and the distinct loop known as The Jug. Local history and genealogy are centered on rural hubs like Wick, home to the Wick Post Office, and the small crossroads of Bearsville and McKim.

Several burial sites, including Middlebourne Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and Fairview Cemetery, provide essential records for researchers tracking early family lines. The landscape is a network of smaller watercourses like Sancho Creek and Sugar Creek, which carve out local valleys separated by features like Klondike Ridge. This survey reflects the enduring character of these communities, where small settlements like Little, Bert, and Locke anchor the rural landscape.
