2019 Map of Northwest Palestine

About this map

The city of Palestine serves as the focal point for this survey, showcasing its northward expansion and the complex network of water resources that define the Anderson County landscape. The area is characterized by numerous small lakes and reservoirs, including Upper City Lake, Lower City Lake, and Davey Lake, which emphasize the importance of local water management. The terrain transitions into rural hills and drainages such as Keechie Creek and Sand Hollow to the northwest. For those tracing local history, the map provides an extensive record of community burial sites, with nearly a dozen cemeteries scattered across the landscape, from Fort Houston Cem in the north to the Land of Memory Cem near the Palestine Municipal Airport. The presence of Basset Cr and Wolf Cr illustrates the intricate watershed that supports both the urban center and the outlying settlements like Happy Acres Rd.
