2010 Map of Pritchett

About this map

Pritchett and the surrounding Upshur County countryside appear here as a network of rural homesteads and agricultural routes at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous small waterways, including the winding Little White Oak Creek and Bee Branch. Local genealogy is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds such as Kelsey Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery, which serve as landmarks for families tracing roots in the East Texas piney woods. Small communities like Latch, Kelsey, and Rosewood are connected by a web of timber-named roads, including Black Gum Rd and Elderberry Rd, reflecting the area's wooded character. Water management is evident in structures like the Bane Lake Dam and Medley Lake Dam, which dot the northern reaches near Kelsey Creek.
