About this map

Frankston and Poynor serve as the primary anchors of this East Texas landscape, which is defined by the complex drainage network of Caddo Cr and its various tributaries. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors of the local road system to the wetlands and inlets of Lake Palestine in the northeast corner. Settlement patterns are reinforced by several local landmarks, including the Pickle Plantation Airport and the residential clusters of Coffee City.

Family and local history researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, such as Poynor Cem, Liberty Hill Cem, and Foster Cem, which reflect the community's genealogical roots. The survey traces numerous watercourses, from Norwegian Cr in the south to Ledbetter Cr in the north, showing how the rural geography of Anderson County and Henderson County was organized around these natural features in the mid-2010s.
