About this map

Chambers Cemetery, Bell Cemetery, and several Starr family burials define the local genealogy of this rural landscape southeast of Palestine. The terrain is a network of small creeks and managed water bodies, including Calhoun Lake Number 1 and Elkhart Lake. This 2010 survey reflects a period where traditional land use, represented by numerous family cemeteries and the Camp Hill Oil Field, persists alongside modern road developments like Loop 256.

The settlement at Calhoun and the smaller outpost of Deanwright anchor the northern reaches of the map, while industrial activity is concentrated near Camp Hill. The drainage patterns of Manson Creek and Snake Creek create the undulating topography that has long dictated the placement of homesteads and small-scale dams like Broyles Lake Dam. For those studying Anderson County roots, the high density of preserved burial sites provides a significant spatial record of early residents.
