2013 Map of Scottsville

About this map

Harrison Bayou meanders through the heart of this East Texas landscape, defining a network of wetlands and creeks that drain toward the northeast. The area around Scottsville reflects a legacy of family landholdings and rural industry, most notably the Scottsville Oil Field and various family-named roads like John Sanders Rd and Julius Davis Ln. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through a high concentration of cemeteries, including Antioch Cem, Mimosa Hall Cem, and Scott Cem. These sites, along with the settlement at Leigh, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracking family roots in Harrison County. Infrastructure such as the Karnack Lookout Tower and a complex system of farm-to-market roads, like FM-134, connects these dispersed rural communities and resource extraction sites.
