About this map

Scottsville anchors the southwest corner of this East Texas terrain, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage network of Harrison Bayou and its numerous tributaries. Several small lakes and wetlands, including Scottsville Lake, Verhalen Lake, and Rogers Lake, illustrate the low-lying, water-heavy character of this portion of Harrison County.

For genealogists and local historians, the presence of family and community burial grounds such as Mimosa Hall Cem, Antioch Cem, and Minneweather Cem provides vital points of reference for the region's long-established settlement patterns. The road network, including the Grace Scott Cutoff and Marshall Leigh RD, connects the main settlement at Scottsville to the community of Leigh in the northeast, following the natural contours of the land around Haggerty Cr and Bullard Cr.
