About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as the central hub of this Northeast Texas landscape, where the urban grid of the county seat transitions into a complex network of local water management and rural cemeteries. The landscape is defined by its extensive watershed, including Ellis Kelley Lake in the northwest and a chain of reservoirs such as New City Lake, Old City Lake, and the John B Stephens Junior Lake. These water bodies, alongside the winding courses of Hart Creek and Stinking Creek, reflect the region's reliance on managed water resources for municipal and agricultural use.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside. From the Liberty Hill Cemetery near the northeastern edge to the Rountree - Embry Cemetery and Evans Cemetery, these sites provide essential touchpoints for tracing family lineages in Titus County. The map also delineates the early 21st-century infrastructure of the area, showing the expansion of the town along North Jefferson Avenue and its surrounding rural routes.
