About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as the central hub of this Northeast Texas landscape, where a dense street grid meets a network of managed water resources. The city’s development is closely tied to its local reservoirs, including New City Lake, Old City Lake, and John B Stephens Junior Lake, which ring the western and northern edges of the urban center. This hydrological management extends to the rural outskirts, where Stephens Lake Number 1 and Stephens Lake Number 2 sit along the lower reaches of Hart Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several outlying burial grounds, such as Evans Cem, Edwards Cem, and the hyphenated Rountree - Embry Cem near Stinking Creek. The terrain is defined by its numerous small drainages, including Smackover Creek and Evans Cr, which feed into the larger creek systems that have shaped the agricultural and residential patterns of Titus County for generations.
