2016 Map of Purley

About this map

Purley and Cypress anchor this East Texas landscape where the Hopkins and Franklin county line divides a network of creek bottoms and rural farm-to-market roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Big Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Cypress Creek and Greenwood Creek, which feed into the significant waters of Lake Cypress Springs in the southeast. This 2016 survey captures the area's agricultural character, dotted with small communities like Greenwood and marked by local landmarks like the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Liberty Cemetery. To the south, Lake Franklin sits near the confluence of Glade Branch, illustrating the water-rich geography of the Piney Woods edge. The map provides a clear view of the modern road network, from FM 900 to the grid of county roads that service these historic rural settlements.
