2010 Map of Poynor

About this map

Poynor and Frankston anchor this East Texas landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country roads and small creek drainages. The topography is largely dictated by the passage of Caddo Creek, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle, and Caney Branch to the south. Notable elevations like Newman Mountain break the horizon near Liberty Hill Cemetery, while water management is evident at Mixon Lake Dam in the north. The map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Poynor Cemetery and Foster Cemetery, providing a spatial record of local genealogy. From the residential streets of Coffee City near the northern boundary to the outlying settlement of Fosterville, the map illustrates a rural area where small-town centers are connected by an intricate web of Farm-to-Market and County Roads, including FM 315 and FM 1305.
