About this map

Larissa Cemetery and Old Larissa Cemetery anchor the historical landscape of northern Cherokee County, documenting the early settlements of the region. This 2022 survey shows the northward reach of Jacksonville toward the community of Mount Selman, where the terrain begins its ascent toward the distinctive Snow Mountain. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and family landmarks, such as Tarrant Field and the Lewis Family Cemetery.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Killough Creek and its many tributaries, including Stone Chimney Creek, carving through the landscape. The map illustrates a rural environment shaped by timber interests, indicated by the Paper Company Land, and small water bodies like Hollywood Lake and Brown Lake. This data provides a clear view of how modern transportation corridors like FM 855 and FM 2493 navigate the historic hills and hollows of east Texas.
