About this map

Neuville and the surrounding rural landscape of Shelby County are defined by a network of creeks and small water bodies that supported decades of settlement in East Texas. The terrain is crisscrossed by waterways such as Straw Creek, Porter Creek, and Brady Creek, with larger collections of water at Center Lake and New City Lake. These sources were vital for the dispersed communities of Choice, Short, and Jericho, which are linked by a grid of backroads that navigate the low-lying drainage basins.

Local history is deeply anchored in the numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks scattered across the sheet. Researchers will find significance in sites like Old Buckner Cemetery, Sinclair Cemetery, and Hamilton Cemetery, which reflect the genealogical footprint of the area. Notable infrastructure including the Lake Center Dam and the Tabernacle Lookout stand as prominent markers within this piney woods landscape, while the presence of Gallus Ranch and Sandy Springs Campground illustrates the blend of agricultural and recreational land use.
