2016 Map of Sardis

About this map

Hughes Springs anchors the southern edge of this East Texas survey, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek systems and low-lying wetlands. The hydrology is dominated by Black Cypress Creek, which winds through the central portion of the landscape, joined by numerous tributaries including Kelly Creek, Caney Creek, and Mill Branch. This water-rich environment is evidenced by the frequent marsh symbols and secondary drainage labels like Arbery Branch and Cloninger Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved through several documented burial sites, such as Rankin Cemetery and Old Union Hill Cemetery, which sit among a complex grid of rural roads. These routes, including FM 130 and Farm Road 161 N, connect isolated homesteads and small family properties across the piney woods of Cass County.
