2019 Map of Murchison West

About this map

Murchison anchors the southeastern corner of this Henderson County survey, where the local road network converges near Jackson Lake and Dillard Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense system of tributary streams including Pottawatomie Cr, Kickapoo Cr, and Third Caney Cr, which drain the low-lying woodlands and pastures between the Van Zandt Co and Henderson Co line. For those researching local family history, the map identifies several small community landmarks such as Liberty Cem and Ray Cem, alongside distinctive natural features like Meredith Spring. The modern infrastructure of S Trade Days Blvd and various farm-to-market roads illustrates the transition from traditional rural ranching lands to contemporary accessibility, maintaining the distinct parcels and drainage patterns that have shaped this East Texas landscape for generations.
