About this map

Middleton anchors this pocket of East Texas where the Leon and Houston county line follows the winding course of the Trinity River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Lower Keechi Cr, Boggy Cr, and Haley Br, which feed into local wetlands like Grass Lake and Taylor Lake. This modern survey reveals a rural character preserved through family-named landmarks and private airstrips such as Moore Ranch Airport.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the terrain, from Pleasant Grove Cem and Spillerville Cem in the southwest to the more isolated Holleman Cem and Burton Cem. The presence of Largaet Heirs Family RD and numerous local county roads like Alabama RD suggests a landscape tied to multi-generational landholdings and agricultural use. Distinctive terrain features such as Red Oak Hollow and Red Hollow break up the topography between the meandering creek beds and the broader river bottomlands.
