About this map

The boundary between Henderson and Anderson Counties bisects this East Texas landscape, where the rolling wooded terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. Small settlements like Poynor and Frankston anchor the local geography, connected by a road network that traverses high points like Rock Hill. The map documents a rural environment transitioning toward recreation and residential growth, particularly evident near Coffee City and the shoreline of Ledbetter Inlet.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near the community of Pleasant Hill, while the lower portion of the map reveals more isolated locales such as Fosterville. The drainage patterns, including Caddo Creek, Boggy Creek, and Indian Creek, highlight the watershed's importance to the area's layout, providing a detailed record of the physical and social landscape as it stood in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
