2012 Map of Pritchett

About this map

Pritchett and the surrounding rural communities of Upshur County are mapped here in the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by small settlements and an intricate network of creeks. The area is anchored by historic burial sites, including Kelsey Cem near the Kelsey settlement and New Hope Cem to the south. The terrain is marked by gentle elevations like Peter Hayes Hill and numerous watercourses such as Kelsey Cr, Little White Oak Cr, and Pond Cr that feed into the local watershed. In the northern reaches, the edge of Lake Gilmer appears near Rosewood, while the community of Latch sits central to a web of farm-to-market roads and local routes named for native trees like Nutmeg Rd and Pecan Rd. This map captures the persistent rural character of East Texas, where long-established family names and community markers like Pleasant Hill Cem remain the primary landmarks.
