About this map

The northwest corner of Palestine serves as the focal point for this 1982 study, where the expanding city limits meet the rural landscapes of Anderson County. Significant aviation and scientific infrastructure is evident at the Municipal Airport and the specialized National Scientific Balloon Facility, reflecting the area's modern technical contributions. The rail heritage of the region is well-represented by the Missouri Pacific lines and the Texas State RR, which pass through the southern portion of the map.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including the Land of Memory Cemetery, Lightfoot Cem, and Broyles Chapel. To the north, small settlements like Montalba and institutions like Union Academy anchor the rural community. The landscape is deeply carved by water features such as Keechie Creek and Foundry Branch, which define the topography alongside local recreation spots like the Golf Course and Davey Lake.
