About this map

Brushy Creek and Pert anchor this portion of Anderson County, characterized by a series of north-south flowing tributaries that feed into larger creek systems. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Indian Cr, Hurricane Cr, and Mound Prairie Cr which cut through the moderately elevated terrain. Several significant bodies of water, including Lake Frankston and Pineywoods Lake in the north, suggest a legacy of local water management and recreation within the rural surroundings.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds scattered across the area, such as Mount Zion Cem and Coleman Cem. The network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 315 and FM 837, connects these small communities and isolated landmarks. The presence of Hardshell Cem near the headwaters of Hardshell Cr and Dabbs Cem further east provides concrete markers for families tracing their roots in this specific corner of East Texas.
