About this map

Lake Palestine dominates the eastern edge of this Henderson County landscape, where the waters of Caney Bay and Highsaw Cove reach into a terrain defined by numerous small creeks and drainage branches. The 1984 survey reveals a dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the East Texas post-war era, with small communities like Moore Station and Antioch serving as local focal points. The map documents the persistent importance of local institutions, noting the Antioch Ch and several scattered Cem sites that provide essential data for genealogical research.

To the south, Coffee City sits near the lakeshore while Fincastle occupies the lower central portion of the sheet. The topography shifts from the flat stretches near Flat Creek to more varied elevations around Cooper Mountain. This transition from the aquatic environment of the reservoir to the agricultural and wooded uplands along Tindal Creek and Mulberry Creek illustrates how the creation of the lake redefined the geography of these rural Texas communities.
