2013 Map of Pert

About this map

Pert and Brushy Creek serve as the primary hubs in this Anderson County landscape, where the East Texas terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and small reservoirs. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites, including Mt Zion Cem, Coleman Cem, and Hardshell Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research. Small water bodies like Pineywoods Lake and Lake Frankston characterize the northeastern portion of the sheet, while the lower elevations are marked by the winding paths of Walnut Cr and Mound Prairie Cr. The presence of the Anderson Camp Ground and several family-named cemeteries suggests a long-established community structure tied to the land and its waterways, accessible through a web of county roads and state highways like FM-315 and FM-837.
