2013 Map of Percilla

About this map

Percilla and the surrounding farm-to-market roads of Houston County reveal a landscape shaped by rural community hubs and natural springs. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of San Pedro Cr and Ioni Cr, with notable landmarks like Houston Mound rising above the creek bottoms. Small settlements such as Salmon and Union Crossing anchor the western portion of the map, while Mound City serves as a northern reference point. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial grounds, including the Gulceville Cem and Dunham Harmon Cem. The presence of Green Springs and Yarborough Springs suggests the historical importance of reliable water sources for early residents in this region of East Texas, where the road network follows established paths like Lost Springs Ranch Rd through the creek-dissected hills.
