About this map

Neuville and Brady anchor this rural landscape in East Texas, where the terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Mill Cr and Brady Cr. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Spann's Chapel Cem, Frank Potts Cem, and the Clever Creek Cem near Choice. These locations, often situated along winding county roads like Co RD 1017 and Co RD 1012, provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Shelby County.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by numerous small tributaries and spring-fed features, including Hughes Springs and Bailey Lakes. As the land slopes toward the San Augustine County line in the south, features like McCadley Cem and Kimbro Cr appear. The settlement pattern of small named communities such as Jericho and Short suggests a history of dispersed homesteads and local parish life tied to the surrounding piney woods.
