2019 Map of New Willard

About this map

Long King Creek and its many tributaries, including Alexander Creek and Sandy Creek, carve a detailed drainage network through this portion of Polk County. The settlement patterns are concentrated along the primary north-south transportation corridors, most notably at New Willard and Marston. These communities represent the long-standing timber and agricultural hubs of East Texas, where the local economy has historically been tied to the surrounding woodlands. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, such as Alexander Cemetery and Kibble Cemetery, situated near the residential clusters. The map also identifies specific natural water sources like Bold Springs and Kokernot Spring, which served as vital landmarks for early settlers in the region. The road network, including FM 350 N and FM 942, connects these dispersed settlements and named family tracts like Fagan Farm Road.
