2010 Map of Shiloh

About this map

Sherman Cemetery and the small community of Cedar Hill anchor the southern reaches of this Liberty County landscape, where the Trinity River winds through Fisher Bend toward the waters of Lake Charlotte. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and irrigation, including the West Branch Devers Canal and various coastal gullies such as Pignut Gully and Hatcher Gully. Numerous family-named burial grounds like Miller Cemetery, Norris Cemetery, and Albritton Cemetery are scattered throughout the quadrangle, suggesting a long history of local settlement near Shiloh. The map also details early 21st-century infrastructure, featuring the George W Maxwell Levee and a system of bayous, including Cow Island Bayou and Turtle Bayou, that manage the water flow across this low-lying Texas coastal plain.
