About this map

Kelly Creek and Black Cypress Creek wind through the wooded landscape of Cass County, anchoring a rural Texas community defined by its historic churchyards and small settlements. The area around Midway and Sardis is particularly rich for genealogical research, featuring numerous burial grounds including the Crossroads Community Centery and Rankin Cemetery.

Infrastructure in this portion of Northeast Texas is marked by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes that connect isolated homes and agricultural tracts. Notable landmarks such as the Union Hill Lookout Tower near the Old Union Hill Cemetery and the Coker Lake Dam in the northwest corner indicate the long-standing management of the timber and water resources. The proximity of Hughes Springs at the southern edge suggests the area's connection to the larger regional economy of the period.
