About this map

Hughes Springs anchors the southwest corner of this Cass County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek bottoms and small drainages. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with Black Cypress Cr and its many tributaries like Kelly Cr and Caney Cr winding through the countryside. This 2019 survey documents the modern road network, including numerous county roads and farm-to-market routes such as FM 130 and FM 250, which connect scattered residential pockets and rural homesteads.

Local history is preserved in several burial sites distributed across the township, including Dennis Cem, Rankin Cem, and the Old Union Hill Cem near the eastern boundary. The presence of Coker Lake in the northwest and the varied branches like Mill Br and Prairie Br suggest a landscape traditionally tied to timber and small-scale agriculture. This map provides a clear record of property access and land use in East Texas at the end of the second decade of the 20th century.
