About this map

New Summerfield serves as the primary hub for this Cherokee County landscape, where the intersection of State Highway 110 and US Highway 79 anchors a region defined by its creek drainage systems and high points like Gill Mtn and Rock Hill. The map reveals a dense network of local county roads that connect dispersed rural homesteads and family landmarks. To the east, the shoreline of Lake Striker begins to emerge, while the southern edge is marked by the small community of Reklaw.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the distribution of numerous small burial grounds and places of worship, including Union Chapel and its associated Union Chapel Cem. Other sites such as Myrtle Springs Cem and Walkers Chapel Cem provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots in this East Texas area. The drainage of Caney Cr and Mud Cr dictates the local topography, carving paths through the wooded terrain.
