2019 Map of Minden

About this map

Minden and Brachfield anchor this rural Rusk County landscape, where the topography is defined by the branching tributaries of Irons Bayou and Murvaul Cr. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Little Family Cem, Hughes Cem, and Welch Cem, which often serve as the primary markers of earlier settlement patterns in this part of East Texas. The local infrastructure is dominated by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes like FM 1798, reflecting the area's agricultural and residential character. Evidence of the region's transportation history is preserved in the naming of Railroad St near the western edge. Numerous watercourses, such as Owens Cr and Welch Springs Br, carve through the terrain, illustrating the dense hydrological network that once supported local homesteads.
