About this map

Big Cypress Creek meanders across this landscape, defining the boundary between Titus and Camp counties during the mid-1960s. The settlement of Monticello sits north of the creek, while Rocky Mound and Blodgett serve as further anchors for the rural community. The area is characterized by a dense network of country churches, including Adams Chapel, Blundell Creek Ch, and Green Pasture Ch, reflecting the deep-seated social geography of Northeast Texas.

A notable Pipeline cuts through the northern terrain near Smith Creek, while various Gravel Pits suggest local extractive activity. Smaller watercourses like Blundell Creek and Andys Creek feed into the larger creek system, illustrating a well-watered topography before the modern industrial shifts in the region. The map also records family-centered landmarks such as Eaves Tabernacle and several unnamed Cem locations, providing essential clues for genealogical research in this part of the state.
