2016 Map of Middleton

About this map

Middleton anchors this pocket of east Texas where the borders of Leon and Houston counties meet at the Trinity River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Lower Keechi Cr, Boggy Creek, and Caney Cr which drain into the river bottomlands. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Spillerville Cem, New Salem Cem, and Holleman Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, offering significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlers. Private aviation is represented by the Moore Ranch Airport, located near Taylor Lake. The transition from upland ridges like Red Oak Hollow to the creek flats reflects the traditional agricultural and ranching patterns of the region, connected by a web of county roads and family routes like Largaet Heirs Family Rd.
