About this map

Grapeland sits at the southwestern edge of this survey, marking a significant hub of activity in Houston County. Northward, the land rises toward Houston Mound and the small community of Mound City, revealing a landscape defined by its rural cemetery network and watercourses. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the uniquely named Eleck Turk Grave and the dual grounds of Gulceland Cem - North and Gulceland Cem - South.

The central drainage of San Pedro Creek and its tributaries, such as Mill Branch, shape the agricultural layout of the region. Distinct settlements like Salmon and Percilla are connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes, which also pass by Strongs Memorial Park and Wilkins Lake. In the northern reaches, Ioni Lake and the Ioni Marsh dominate the hydrology, illustrating the persistence of these water bodies in the local geography of East Texas.
