About this map

New Summerfield serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where the intersection of Farm-to-Market roads and local routes connects a series of high-ground settlements. The area is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Pleasant Plains Cemetery, Union Chapel Cemetery, and McDonald Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Cherokee County.

Waterways like Caney Creek, Bend About Creek, and Mud Creek wind through the terrain, punctuated by small reservoirs such as Stafford Lake and Peacock Lake. To the south, Stryker Creek Junction and the vicinity of Brushy Lake highlight the drainage patterns that define the local topography. Elevated features like Gill Mountain and Rock Hill offer a glimpse into the physical character of the land, while scattered place names like Lone Star and Pine Hill reflect the enduring rural identity of the region at the start of the 21st century.
