About this map

New London and Old London anchor the northern landscape of this Rusk County region, where the East Texas oil fields historically shaped the settlement patterns. A network of rural farm-to-market roads and county routes connects smaller communities such as Selman City, Turnertown, and Joinerville, reflecting a dense history of petroleum extraction and rural living. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, including Bowles Creek and McNeil Creek, which flow through the wooded hills. For family historians, several burial grounds are scattered across the map, including Asbury Cemetery in the west and Black Jack Cemetery in the southeast. The survey also traces the jurisdictional borders where Smith, Rusk, and Cherokee Counties meet, providing a clear view of how these historic county lines intersect with local water bodies like Miller Lake.
