About this map

Ft Houston Cem and Jerusalem Cem are among several burial grounds that anchor this survey of the northwestern periphery of Palestine. The map details the transition from the city's structured North Side Historic District and South Side Historic District to the rural expanses of Anderson County. Extensive creek systems, including the branching Keechie Cr and Foundry Br, define the local drainage and topography.

Infrastructure like the Palestine Municipal Airport and a dense network of county roads connect the urban center to outlying points such as Montalba and the Foster School. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how modern residential development and historical sites, including the Land of Memory Cem and Newton Cem, coexist within the East Texas landscape, offering researchers a precise look at local land use and family heritage sites.
