About this map

New Summerfield sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, where the intersection of several farm-to-market roads defines the local geography. The area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the centrally located Myrtle Springs Cem and the Union Chapel Cem situated just south of the main township. These sites, along with Walkers Chapel Cem and McDonald Cem, offer significant points of interest for those tracing local lineages.

The physical environment is shaped by numerous watercourses such as Mud Cr and Sampson Cr, which feed into various small bodies of water like Stafford Lake and Peacock Lake. Significant elevation is found at Gill Mtn, providing a contrast to the marshy lowlands near Brushy Lake. The network of county roads connecting smaller communities like Pine Hill and Elm Grove illustrates the enduring rural settlement pattern of Cherokee County.
