2019 Map of Scottsville

About this map

Harrison Bayou meanders through the center of this East Texas landscape, defining a wetland corridor that separates the communities of Scottsville and Leigh. The area is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including the Mimosa Hall Cem and Antioch Cem near the northern border. The terrain's hydraulic character is shaped by several significant water bodies like Verhalen Lake, Scottsville Lake, and Blocker Lake, which sit alongside a network of rural routes such as Co RD 1102 and FM 1998. Genealogists will find interest in the dispersed rural cemeteries like Scott Cem and Minneweather Cem, which suggest early settlement patterns and family holdings in Harrison County. The transition from the lower Quapaw Cr bottomlands to the wooded rises provides a clear picture of this region's modern rural composition.
